QOTD: Do You Care About Powertrain Specs?

Ford brass seems to think that, for a variety of reasons, today's consumer doesn't care that much about powertrain specs.

That might be accurate when describing the mainstream car buyer -- but maybe it isn't. So, I wanted to ask you if you think about it when you're buying or shopping.

I suppose you lot care more than most -- most of you are enthusiasts. But maybe you don't, or maybe you care only if it's a performance vehicle or a truck that will be used to tow. Maybe you care if the powertrain is solely internal combustion, but you don't if a vehicle is electrified or purely electric.

So, go ahead, you know what to do. Sound off below.
