So, no Honda e in the US?

They could have gone with Tesla E, like Honda did in their new Honda e.

Plus the electric Edge / Nautilus? Also, I have a feeling E1/ModelE is somehow not too different from C2... does anyone know if these 2 platforms are related?

I like it. Fiat Toro has a similar feature but the swinggate is separeated in two doors opening in the middle. That takes less space to open.

Indeed reminds of me of the Evos concept

Sure. It does however emphasize your point of having Mexico-built vehicles if South America market is to be contemplated. Otherwise, prices are just not competitve.

Canadian Edges (ST only, now) are also sold here but sales are depressingly low (veeery expensive)

If I remember correctly, the caps are gone and there are no more limits. Due to economical situation, though, I dont think any maker is exporting large numbers of Mexican cars to Brazil and/or Argentina.

Considering that Fusion is a midsize sedan, its replacement can survive with just five seats. But, talking about a more affordable 7-seater, does the digit "7" in project CX758 indicate a 3rd row? I think this crossover is a good candidate for the extra seats

Shame Lincolns are not globally sold. Their line up got great and this Corsair seems such a perfect car in many markets

Thanks. I had seen that report you mention. But to be honest, Im still curious about this Russian C2 and how it differs from a proper C2. Would it be something like Toyota and Dahiatsu tnga and dnga architectures?...

What does one mean by Russian C2?

Yes, it seems that it is not a baby Bronco truck. Its code P758 (or something similar) is paired up with a crossover CX758 whose code is different to baby Bronco's CX430. My guess is that this could be an US replacement for the Ecosport and slot between Territory and Escape in South America.
