    I saw it in person a few months ago, and do think it looks better in person than pictures.  But I still think the 2015 redesign was a home run and hard to beat.

    That's how I felt about the 2013 Fusion (home run, hard to beat). The minute I saw it, I remember thinking, "This looks SO good...how are they ever going to improve on it with an MCE or redesign?"

    Turns out...they didn't! :D

    I think they decided there wouldn’t be enough incremental sales to make it worth the effort.

     

    I suspect so. Once they decided to revise the S550 platform instead of moving to CD6, I'm sure the increased cost for hybrid, AWD, and EV adaptation was a losing business case.

     

    I'm still holding out hope that the 8th generation moves to CD6 or another new platform and incorporates all of the above, to ease the transition into all-EV someday after that.

    I'm eager to see it in person, but after the leaks and official reveal, I'm underwhelmed. We knew it was a refreshed S550, but there's too little differentiation for me. Dark Horse has no heritage, and for a 59-year legacy with so many historic nameplates to choose from, why create a new one? Since they highlighted the Tremec for the Dark Horse only, that implies to me that the regular GTs will be stuck with the MT-82 again. And of course, no mention of pricing yet.

     

    I'll wait and see how they evolve the line as this generation advances, but at the outset...I'll be keeping my '07 GT500 quite a few years longer.

    The irony of Dean demanding we not make "blanket statements" because of a limited view...while he proceeds to make non-stop blanket statements about an entire generation based on his dealership and few in the surrounding area, out of, what, 3,000+ Ford dealerships nationwide? The reports of shady dealership practices seem to span the country, but he wants to minimize and excuse the behavior and put it on the customer to "do their homework." There are some good points and food for thought in your posts, Dean, but your hypocrisy and inability to acknowledge the other side weakens your overall argument.

    Wards 10 Best Interiors for '22

    Looks like only the Ford Mach E GT and Lincoln high trim models so far. I was looking at a Maverick Lariat interior today, and was not overly impressed.

     

    However, Ford does seem to be doing better making high trim Explorers and even the Escape look more attractive with eye popping contrasting stichings and Maverick interior does attract the eye better with more attractive patterns. 

     

    Now these improvements have come only in the past year or so with Timberline and Stealth option packages. Looks like Ford is listening to critics when Explorer and Escape first came out, not Hackett.

     

    Now maybe Hackett gets some credit for BS and Maverick interior, but it didn't carry over to Explore and Escape.

     

    I've gotta say, the interior of my Mach-E GT PE is fantastic, one of the best I've ever seen out of Ford. Since it's in the shop now, I have a 2022 Edge loaner, and even though it's a loaded Titanium, the interior is very dated and cheap.
