I was lazy!

Google LOL

I'm assuming that Apple doesn't have much in the way of legacy costs like Verizon or ATT does with POTS, for example.

4 Door Bronco is 190 inches long Bronco Sport is 172.7 inches Bronco 2 door is 174.8 in

It’s the luxury brand thing. People call it by the Brand name, not the nameplate. The Bronco vs Bronco Sport is a minor issue there will be some confusion at first, but in the end it’s really not going to be an issue. Plus what could they call a possible third product? The Bronco Scout doesn’t really sound all that different from Sport anyways.

Ummmm https://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A7141123011%2Cp_4%3AFord+Bronco&ref=bl_sl_s_ap_web_7141123011 That is the official Ford store for Bronco merch

The only defense this guy has was this article was posted a day or two before the camo'd prototypes that actually look like a truck popped up.

This thing seems to reek of ugly BEV compliance vehicle styling

The one thing I'm curious about the Bronco is the next refresh-given how the body is pretty much modular and easily removable, I wonder if people will swap out fenders and other new styling cues to keep their older Bronco's "current"

The camo is adding about a foot to the overall length of it. A mid sized car is roughly 190 inches long.

What the fuck is this guy smoking? Its going to look like a transit connect from the front?! As for Goof looking-if anything its going to look like an Explorer Sport Trac-a 4 door with a short bed.

So what is the major advantage of having Springs vs leaf springs in the Raptor? I guess the Raptor will be sharing parts with the BEV F-150 also, since that was supposed to get Springs too.

Depends-looking at things now..it appears that Ford is on a downswing of fixing things from when Mullally left. 2017 Rebooted PD by getting rid of cars in NA and focusing on trucks/SUV/CUVs Fixing management by making it more flat and hopefully removing fiefdoms Over the next 18 months or so they have 4 major new programs that are vital to the health of the company-The Mach E, Bronco/Bronco Sport and F-150. So I'm leaning towards more of retirement then being forced out...he's leaving the company in general good shape, but still needs improving. Ford has to figure out where it wants to go for the next 5-10 years yet and what product to focus on, while transitioning to BEVs, which should be more mainstream in 10 years.

Yeah it was the first news article I could post outside of it being on twitter. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/08/04/jim-hackett-retirement-ford-jim-farley/5580023002/

Ford per say isn't a bad company-it's the fiefdoms in it that are screwing up things...hopefully the last reorg has fixed that or at least made major inroads to fixing that issue.
