several well placed sources have said they're using the '73 Bronco as inspiration.
As to when we see it is a little clouded. NAIAS 2018 is a good guess to see a concept at least. PremierDrum mentioned several months ago that he had heard Mules would be out on the road around September.
I wouldn't have a problem with it personally, but I'm going to have to resurrect the salesman in me to convince her. I'm not kidding, even a Fusion is barely small enough for her to be comfortable with.
As for kid crap, that's what the Ranger is for
Update: we currently have a 2017 Escape as a loaner while the Focus is in the shop for yet another warranty repair (no it's not transmission related). She needs it tonight so I'll get her opinion when she gets back home.
Just saw the blue metallic and the outrageous green. The green looks to be the same that the fiesta is offered with
Blue looks like its somewhere between a cobalt blue and robin's egg blue
I used to have a 2002 Explorer Sport and she refused to drive it unless she absolutely had to. In the 4 years I had it she drove it maybe 3 times.
My wife would be the opposite of yours. She would drag me out of the Ferrari so she could drive it herself.
Fusion. She doesn't like the higher seating position of the Escape and Edge is bigger than she feels comfortable with. The question will be do we get a 2018 or see what the 2019 is?
Well said. When we leased our Focus, we had a pretty good idea we would be trying to have a baby soon, and knew the back seat could be a problem for a car seat. Boy we're we right. As he gets bigger and the car seat grows with him, it portrudes further into the front seat area. Its already pretty much sitting at my temple at 4 months old. I hate to get rid of it because a. It's a stick and b. I do truly love it despite its limitations, but it's just not going to work when we decide have our second one.
They've never really marketed it all that heavily. They did one blitz of billboards locally when the 2012 came out for like 2 months, then one when the 2015 MCE came out for like 1 month and that's been all I've seen. No print media, no TV, very little internet and a bunch of billboards. That's a fail.
