We had a diesel van in Europe and that thing got like 35mpgs over several hundred miles.

We could see a regular (non plug) hybrid though. Plus, you can also file it under "we don't talk about future product".

I just find it dumb that they somehow can't afford things in their home market but they can in a foreign market. I'd imagine those changes will come soon to a Bronco refresh here (maybe for '25?), and likely came from so many complaints about the US model.

Sure, but as pointed out above, 1) you're not going to change that perception by keeping the status quo 2) the engineering work is already done, why not bring it over?

Yup, it also got a new set of taillights. Similar to Corsair getting new front/rear treatments over there, and we got a massaged front and nothing out back.

To each their own, but visually, I won't ever be as impressed by a modified Mustang as I would an exotic shape like the GT.

I never doubted people would buy it. That doesn't mean I still don't have a hard time getting excited about it vs. a GT.

Sounds like that'd be a good idea for me. I'm surprised they haven't tried getting Maverick to other markets yet - especially Europe where roads are smaller.

Nice to see that they're recognizing that Lincoln is making a great product. I just wish they'd give Lincoln the same attention in the US that they are in the Chinese market (via more thorough refreshes)

In other news, water is wet.

The recent Mercedes models are hardly anything to hold up as a success of aero design....they look like melted bars of soap. In fact, I have a sneak peek at the newest Mercedes model that I'll share only with you guys...

I'd have likely checked this box had it been an option on Bronco.

As usual with Ford, if a plan you like gets canceled, give it long enough and it'll resurface...

It'll be interesting to see what all they do going forward. I'll have to find another source now, as they were one of my primaries.

the facelift did wonders for Escape’s design, even if it is still somewhat boring. I’ve said for a while that in the US there’s probably room for 1 premium priced sedan offering…whether it be Mustang or an alternative like Evos (the latter could command higher prices). after being in Europe and seeing how small roads are, they definitely need smaller cars.
