Looks like a significant refresh and they are still using buttons and Knobs and you can still get a V8! Kind of surprised they have continued to invest in this low volume vehicle, but I think they did a nice job.

Whew! Looks like I am good, for now anyway!

There is no way that Black on the Tailgate is for production. I would not be surprised to see a "Full width" screen on a Platinum. Tremor package is for a lower trim model anyway...

That was a big advantage of the CVPI, the trunk was huge even with the spare tire. Charger trunks have very little room with the spare tire taking up so much space...

Indiana Troopers still transport arrested; however, they are transported in the Front! In my 20+ years (retired 2018) of being a Trooper, I was not aware of any other Indiana Department that did not have dividers and transport arrested in the rear though...

I realize it is not as good as factory, but it is still available if you want it bad enough... I have the factory color matched on my Bronco, and they are not hardwired like the old ones. Once the battery goes out on it, I will have to remove it an purchase one through Ford Accessories.

You can purchase one through Ford Accessories. It is all Black though and cost $120. I have seen that other Bronco owners are putting them behind the fuel door. https://accessories.ford.com/keyless-entry-keypad-for-vehicles-without-factory-remote-start (without remote start) https://accessories.ford.com/keyless-entry-keypad-for-vehicles-with-factory-remote-start (with remote start)

I know that CAP (Chicago Assembly Plant) has a poor reputation for build quality. Not sure if that will improve with the new model. I have a 23 Basequatch and love it! How do you like yours?

Back in the 80's when I was in High School, I rear ended a Pinto (Hatchback) in my Dad's 1978 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe. Pinto was smashed up, fortunately no Fire! The Grand Prix only had bent front bumper stops upon first look. (Drove fine, but the frame was bent slightly). The reaction from the Pinto Driver was priceless!

That is my biggest gripe with the Mach E. The interior quality seems to be good, but the styling is so bland!!

Autoblog review mentions it is built in China at the end of the review...

Enough that I prefer buttons and knobs. I would actually rather have all radio/climate on physical buttons. I suppose I am just an old Fuddy Duddy!! LOL

I am not a fan of Tablet screens, but this is certainly an improvement over last year. Also complained about Mustang, but it was not near as bad in person when I sat in one. So this would not be a deal breaker for me. But I do want buttons and knobs for Climate!!!

Yeah, I do not understand why sedans were dropped since margins for anything other than F Series do not seem to be any better than the cars they were selling!
