Ford has yet to trademark Maverick ST.

Note sure if we are getting this version of the Explorer facelift, but here we go. The look in China: https://www.autohome.com.cn/news/202204/1243594.html#pvareaid=2028166 One thing for sure: NA needs that interior!

Remember when the Bronco leaked with some bad photos and everyone thought it didn't look good?

Got to love covering the logo on the steering wheel...as if nobody can tell what vehicle it is lol.

It also makes sense to debut the S650 in NY since the original Mustang debuted at the New York Worlds Fair in '64.

In the future, building RHD should be easier even an EV platform I would think. Less parts to move around for a conversion.

Transit Courier sells well in Turkey. Now it s just Ford vs Fiat in that market, they both can take the market share.

Chinese Mach E's aren't for NA.

Chinese Focus has a somewhat different face from the Euro Focus just like the prefacelifted model: https://www.autohome.com.cn/news/202202/1237736.html#pvareaid=102624

Next Territory has been spotted testing in China. The Territory is also exported to some southeast Asian and South American markets. https://www.autohome.com.cn/news/202202/1237718.html#pvareaid=2028166

I think we will see a facelift, but with a different grill than the Chinese version.

Hmm...you are right. I went by the belt line which looked the same. New thread time...

Vehicle has now been caught in China. Their media is calling it the next Territory: https://www.autohome.com.cn/news/202202/1237718.html#pvareaid=2028166

I always thought it was Ford's retribution for what happened with the Henry Ford Motor Company aka Cadillac.

Remember there were Continental Mark III, IV, and Mark V from 1957-59. They were reused. Since those were concepts, it only makes sense to go back to Mark IX.

It's a year from production. I doubt Ford has finalized pricing.

I'll have to say it again...if the Mark series is reborn, it will not big a personal luxury coupe. It will be a 4 door SUV coupe. Why? The 4 door SUV coupe is the personal luxury coupe of today. Same goes for Thunderbird.

Don't read anything into them still cleaning it as global only. Ford denied the Maverick name up until a couple days prior to the reveal, even though everyone knew it was to be named Maverick for a year.

And politicians did not drive the conversion from horses to cars to begin with? By saying banning horses in cities like NYC and others did? Or pumping trillions in the highway systems? Or subsidizing the railroad industry before that? Or subsidizing the canal industry before that? Let's stop acting like every major advancement in US transportation was purely market based, because history says otherwise.

This guy also thinks he can juggle Peugeot, Citreon, Opel/Vauxhall, DS, Fiat, Abarth, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram without any issues...

If I remember right, there is not much physical size difference between the 3.0 and 3.5, so I venture to guess the 3.5 Turbo would be the Bronco R.

I doubt Ford could make a large enough profit margin on the Maverick in Louisville. Bronco Sport on the other hand... Then use the extra space for the Maverick.

I wonder if there will be an Everglades package for the Ranger as well.

Something finally struck me about its design. It looks very French... Which in this case, happens to be a good thing.

True, maybe they took their time given it was the first conversion. I do not think that Ford would be interested in doing in a half ICE/half EV plant. If they are going to do it, they will convert the whole way.
