While not hideous, it certainly is not very inspiring either...thankfully, it was put out of its misery before it hit the market....would have been a sales dog for certain.
I would hope that any updated version of this vehicle gets a CE1 underpinning....I kinda like the style of it. Making a "cargo van" for urban deliveries in EU countries actually expands its appeal.
Not for sale, but Ford IS working on it....article is from 2023 though and it is for a UK based project....but they have a finger in the pie so to speak...

Here's to hoping so....I really like my Maverick, so it will be interesting to see how this new truck stacks up...I am almost ready to join the EV crowd.
I believe that "the Edsel moment" was the aborted 3 row EV SUV planned for Oakville....thankfully, that thing got dragged out back behind the barn and was mercifully put out of its misery early enough on to be but a distant (albeit bad) memory.
Rome NY - Martin St. VP Racing gas station (formerly Sunoco)
Stopped yesterday (4/09/26) for gas - regular unleaded (E10 blended) was $3.99 cash, or $4.09 for CC use.
They didn't mothball it - they tore it out. Now, if they took the removed C2 production line and moved it to OHAP, that would be an interesting development.
When I brought my Maverick in for service, they offered me a ride back home and the vehicle they used was a 2026 Nautilus hybrid....I will say it was definitely a nicely appointed vehicle.
