To me, this would make the most sense as tied to the Lighting brand (I.e. performance model of Lightning/EV), but Ranger and Maverick obviously don’t have EV versions yet, so that may have to be out the window and be Hybrid versions as someone speculated above. this likely ties into that sporty version of Maverick that we saw a while back.

It’s cool looking though maybe not “Delorean” at first glance. But obviously a modern interpretation rather than trying to go a modern retro.

the stark contrast of “modern old looking” areas of that interior (door panels, general dash design), and the tack on current/Mach E parts makes my eyes twitch lol.

honestly that article was so detailed about the suspension that I didn’t understand, I kinda tuned out halfway through reading haha. 😛

it is truly amazing to me how people don’t know the product they’re trying to sell, and I guess it comes from turnover? I guess I can’t say much since I recently completely switched fields myself and am learning a lot on the fly, but I’m also not involved in the sales portion of the business that’s dealing directly with customers all the time. With cars, most people come in knowing nothing about the vehicle and being dependent on the salesperson. Us enthusiasts are a fraction of those purchasing cars, so I guess if sales guy knows a “2” on a 1-10 scale, I guess thats more than the 0 or 1 of most people.

I’m partial to the 55 F-100 myself

I have no idea lol

may least those were intended to be that way. Same for the Lightning this one on the escape looks like they finished the design and someone came in and said “make it look ‘cool’ with a lightbar” and they just tacked it on. It doesn’t really go with the design.

no, I actually do see the same if I don’t directly look at it - at a glance it’s Subaruish.

I guess I differ from most here in that I think it looks a lot better than the outgoing model. But, I do agree that the lightbar is unnecessary and seems forced though.

It's also taken from an unrealistic angle that throws off proportions too.

Who?

Never heard of it. And also not sure why it's in the Ford section lol.

The more angular front doesn't match the more curvy/smoother sides, IMO.
