I like that green they are showing it in.

The Primary reason the Mach E is made in Mexico is due to it being imported to the EU. But given how things are going there with passenger vehicles, that might not be a Ford concern in the future and they might just be focusing on commercial sales in the EU going forward.

Wow that D pillar looks like an Aztek from the back

This one of those vehicles that I kinda like in photos but when I see it in person I'm like hmmmmm

They look like they stole the C pillar design from the BMW 635 like Ford did with the the 1989 T-bird.

I like it better then the previous gen. It looks more "trucky" since its more vertical then the older grill. I noticed that in person and it doesn't translate well in photos.

Looking at this from a different direction-maybe the Edge and now the Escape are going away because of CAFE? Just look at what GM is doing with the Blazer, as an example.

Another day, more bad press for the CT https://electrek.co/2025/04/01/tesla-is-sitting-on-200-million-worth-of-cybertruck-inventory/

Damn it I was slightly excited for a whole second

Since its pretty apparent you guys didn't watch the video, they used a front end subframe from a S550 Mustang to fit the V10 into. Otherwise they would have actually fit a Conti body shell over another platform, which would prob have been even more work.

Well looks like the tariffs are happening next month https://www.axios.com/2025/03/27/trump-auto-tariffs-vehicles-cars-trucks-suvs

That affordable Subaru starts at 25K stripped

When I unexpectedly got my Fusion, noticed it sat significantly lower then my SHO or my wife’s Escape-it felt similar to my old 2006 Mustang in seating position.

The Ecoboost is rated at 315, not 350 HP The Torque is 350 though Hybrid (think the Old Corsair system) In reverse for the Mach 4 would be nice setup that would take CAFE pressure off the Mustang without giving up power. a 400hp/425/450ftlb AWD Mustang sedan would be nice. I don’t think I’d consider getting a V8 if that was an option. But then again it would be a slight PIA to get in and out of vs SUV/CUVS I’m used to driving, so a Mach E might be a better solution for me 😂

I wonder if the Mach 4 will be unveiled whenever Ford tells us its product plans for the next couple years. or maybe the NYC auto show?

The new 2.3L is just to improve emissions and I guess performance if they wanted to. IIRC the original 2.3L didn't have port injection on it like the larger Ecoboosts, which is the major difference. As for a hybrid variant, that may or may not come-if the Rumored Affordable Truck EV is roughly the size of a Ranger, Ford might want to use that as a stick to make people buy it vs a PHEV Ranger.

Eh the people doing this to Tesla aren’t fans of the company , it’s just some people running very broad circles with one another. Then add in a pinch of sensationalism that the news adds and we are we are.

The group that took over autoblog back in September did the same thing with Sports illustrated-AI generated and named articles. There is a post about this on Reddit I find this slightly amusing and frightening at the same time. Going Forward AI is going to be learning from AI generated information, which is going to cause a whole host of different problems and we’ll just have shit to read, if that. At this point I’m really curious as to what will be the “truth” for information going forward because I see other forms like online newspapers doing the same thing due to lack of subscribers.

It’s been confirmed that the 2025 Ranger and Bronco are getting the “new” 2.3L that is in the Mustang and Explorer currently https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2024-vs-2025-2-3l-changes.111219/
