I agree -- bring back a 21st Century equivalent of the K-car!
As a follow-up, the biggest weakness was noted to be the transmission. I was able to start it out in 5th gear at any throttle position. At 35 MPH it would downshift to 4th. I found starting in 3 or 4 got the best FE. Then, up to 6th ASAP.
I'll post a side story on the topic when I get home, but I toured the Ford Rouge Plant and Ford Museum today. Insiring for anyone with a passion for cars or History.
The lesson: Henry Ford built a car that was efficient and affordable for the masses with the Model-T. We need to look to our past to guide the future: "Back to Basics" would be a great idea.
Bonus content: an unsolicited FE discussion with Ford about the new F-150... Coming Soon!
