    The mistake was charging a hefty premium for a stopgap vehicle.

    maverick’s horsepower dropped when the new 2.0 ecoboost engine was introduced for the 2025 model year.
  4. Trader 10
    Yes, but an ICE version, which I think akirby was referencing, would sell in much higher volumes.
  5. Trader 10
    Think Porsche Cayenne, only much better looking?
  6. Trader 10
    MachE was/is too small and too expensive to replace Edge plus the fact that the huge majority of Edge buyers aren’t interested in an EV.

    That’s about 12 hours/day charging on average with the level 2 charger he mainly uses.

    I hope Lincoln makes the effort and designs a more differentiated vehicle than simply a Bronco with Lincoln front and rear clips.

    The market didn’t change - Ford just abandoned it.
  10. Trader 10
    2 things that will keep me from trading my Maverick for it: limited range and slow charging. Plus the fact that ever increasing electric rates have taken away much, if not all, of the lower fuel costs that EV vehicles did enjoy.
  11. Trader 10
    I agree totally regarding the need for a new Explorer, but the lack of a new generation is very likely due to the huge EV losses which have slowed Ford’s new product development by years.
  12. Trader 10
    Ford has said 5 affordable products. They won’t all be CE1. The CE1 sedans and 3 row are just speculation by Motor Trend.
  13. Trader 10
    Certainly can be dangerous if the throttle fails in some situations ( passing on a 2 lane road or accelerating through a busy intersection are a couple of examples).
  14. Trader 10
    I agree. We’ll probably have a couple more of these “reveals” leading up to the debut. I see no reason to show a vehicle that’s still 15 months from production.
  15. Trader 10
    I wonder if CE1 will introduce this tech.

    It’s been easy to do since it hasn’t had anything new the past 4/5 years other than Ranger.
  18. Trader 10
    But suppliers build to Ford’s specs. When Ford specifies poorer quality or cheaper parts it can’t blame suppliers.
  19. Trader 10
    I remember when that was reported. Seemed like BS (and I don’t mean Bronco Sport) to me. No reason why a well proportioned Edge couldn’t be developed on CD6.
  20. Trader 10
    But Ford stated that the 5 vehicles will be new nameplates and not redesigns of existing models.
  21. Trader 10
    Ford has seemingly mentioned previously what 4 of the 5 will probably be. CE1 truck The CE1 CUV A small van (CE1?) The affordable pickup that has been discussed on this site. that leaves one model-maybe an Edge sized SUV? As an aside I see Borg mentioned a hybrid 4 door Mustang, but I’m sure it won’t be one of the “affordable models”.
  22. Trader 10
    Agree but when will we get a new Bronco Sport? I haven’t seen any indication a NG B Sport is coming in the next 3 years.
  23. Trader 10
    B Sport is too small to appeal to many potential Escape buyers. CE1 will be launching in a very difficult EV market.
  24. Trader 10
    I don’t know if these range estimates are comparable to U.S. ratings. Typically, the Euro range ratings have been significantly higher and well above what the vehicles are able to attain.
  25. Trader 10
    My guess is that Mach E is discontinued as the CE1 Maverick and Escape are ramped up.
