I don't know about the transaxle but dealer cost $47,000. Checked it out Tuesday at Freeland Ford in Freeland, Michigan.

He said it right cuz they must have some inside scoop to get them that cheap. I work at the plant where it is made and I couldn't get it that cheap!

Lets see if I have enough room left on my Visa....
What transmission would fit to that engine? It says harness included. Does that include the computer? Gt transaxle adapted to the Lightning...
Mmmmmm...
Would turn the L into a 100K p-up in a hurry.

Car and Driver. They got the first test drive in the current issue. Well, they drove the preproduction vehicle anyway. They said it was a decision based on Lysholm's ability to meet the supply requirements.

I am sure their units are good and was going to get one, but screw waiting for something to come out for months on end now. Would you like me to hold to your paycheck for months on end???
Only another two weeks..............
