I agree. That was my first car. People have to keep the time period in mind. Compared to other compact fuel economy cars, it was pretty good looking. Mine was solid red with a tan interior. It was sloooooow! But I was a kid, and the fuel economy allowed me to put money in the bank.

It needs to be shot allready...

Ummmm...errrr...ahhh... It looks better than that new Ferrari.

Lee Iacocca had written about it in his first book. The dealers wanted more K cars and Omni/ Horizon /tc4Turismo/ Charger models, but Chrysler had a huge glut of cars like Codobra, Mirada, S.t Regis and other such automotive misfits. He said to the dealers, "We can't unmake them, so you have to sell them" Chrysler then came up with a rebate program and that annoying nationwide radio ad with the frogs saying, "rebate rebate" instead of ribbit ribbit.

What could this be?

Most hood scoops aren't functional on gas cars either.

This scene always pops into my head when I hear about corporate promises:

I'm surprised they even bothered with this. It is not a CUV and cars are Kryptonite to American car makers. This has zero chance of spawning a car or any such thing for the American market. It has a low probability of making a China market car with these styling features, but I'm not expecting that either.

It looks like they're trying to split the difference between CUV and sedan. It is overall handsome, but needs more brand identity. Any label can be slapped on it and it needs to have a more Buick design language.

At one time, houses and buildings didn't have electricity at all or plumbing, or oil heat or natural gas, but the old houses were fitted with it over time or replaced. This is not an overnight change which is why I don't believe they hype that we will all drive BEV in a few years. At one time gas stations weren't a thing and you bought it at a pharmacy of all places. Another idea is that a city like Boston can place parking meters in every conceivable place, then why can't they all be charging stations too. You'd have a captive audience to pay the meter.

This! I don't know how much more convenient it can get that not having to drive somewhere to fuel the car. Unless you make long trips, this is a great advantage.

8 million dollars isn't much. Are you sure it isn't 8 million shares?

They are really putting zero effort into making these 3 models different from each other.

Although I was being sarcastic, I agree. I would hope if it gets to that point, Ford would auction them away like used cars to not have them on their books.

I think Ecosport will be Ford's Dart. In 2040 there will still be one randomly sold on the monthly reports.

Can't say I'm a big fan of that interior. Nothing about it looks like mustang design cues. I'm sure the materials will look better in a production car than a prototype, but I'm just critical of the design.

One drove by me in Abington MA, and I have to say I liked it. It looks better in person.

Not after the ADM...

I think they're going for something like this, since Ford won't bring this here. The Honda looks like a bland version of the Puma.

In the 80's , Ford considered an AWD Mustang. This was the prototype and it was based on the Fox body...

I'm guessing Peugeot, because they already electrified it and it also looks very similar:

It looks nice. It also looks like they adapted a Peugeot 2008 into a Jeep.

Electric Transit should have been called E-conoline. Ot maybe a little lightning bolt could go in place of the dash in the logo.
