Mach E in November. Most likely LA auto show. Baby bronco not sure but its launching prior to Mach E so sometime "soon", Also wait till you see the new Ford F150. The Interior is absolutely HOT. By end of 2020 Ford will have some absolutely cool and hot products selling.

Hi all, So as someone who has actually seen a preproduction prototypes of both of these units I want to to share some info about them since ive been receiving many questions recently. I believe Ford is making "Mustang" and "Bronco" a family of vehicles. The mach e will use the mustang running horse with lines lines going through the horse. I saw the logo on the front end (where grill would be) and also steering wheel (black horse with horizontal lines going through it.The sill plate literally says mustang on it with a running horse logo in black similar to this https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41DwwXOhe%2BL.jpg. This rendering of the front which ford teased in a video is 90% similar to the production intent vehicle. The rear uses the mustang tri bar design but with an extra light strip going through all 3 bars. The sloping roofline and rear hatch is quite similar to the jaguar ipace I know many will be disappointing about the mustang name/logo but honestly it looks badass. The Baby bronco literally says "Bronco" across the front grill and uses the bucking bronco logo on the steering wheel. These leak is 90% representative of the actual vehicle i saw except it said "Bronco" across the grill instead of "Ford" https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a25050309/ford-baby-bronco-jeep-first-photos/

I thought the same thing but when I saw the vehicle in person I dont mind it using the running horse logo at all. I dont really have much details on mustang I think its still early for prototypes.

Ive seen at least 10 of these prototypes in person before camo. It looks pretty good IMO. The interior is a very small cluster and a large infotainment screen with a contextual knob embedded in the infotainment screen, only like 2 hard buttons and a similar rotary gear shifter as the GT500. The rear lights are similar to mustang that they have 3 bars but with a stripe of light running through/across the bars. It will have a running horse logo on the front and on the steering wheel the difference between the mustang one is it will have a different pattern then the aluminum look. Wish i can share more without leaking to much but stay tuned in November for reveal.

its under the camo

honestly didnt have time to play around with it that much but I can check next time. I know it has android auto + apple car play + alexa integration from my understanding and the user can dum the brightness. I think there is a nightmode as all, also the owner manual is embedded in the Sync

No its actual SYNC 4.0. Its more fluid and gives the user more freedom on how they want to display certain sections of their screen. NAV is way better as well and some new features, will write more when i have time

I believe second half 2020. Youll probably be seeing spy shots with the black and white camo soon. They just started shipping units out to test users

it doesn't really resemble it. The headlights and grill are very different from the current and that range rendering. It has a 3 different headlight designs, the LEDs are awesome. The daytime running light led looks like an upside 'L' sort of like the super duty but way better. The grill bar-wrapping into the a U shaped headlight design is mostly gone. The front bumper looks amazing and yes it has new features that will def set it apart. It will have a Hybrid and on board generator...lots of amazing tech and new features.

So i just saw a prototype of the new f150 today, nothing revolutionary on the exterior but the interior is a huge improvement from today. Huge landscape touchscreen with Sync 4 and all digital instrument cluster, exquisite materials, lots of leather and high quality materials. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Calm down. It's not going to be a mustang and will not use the mustang logo. It will have it's own unique horse logo similar how Mustang has the fast horse and the Bronco has it's own bucking horse.

Told you guys it would be really close to a mini Aviator. I really LOVE the looks of this and the Aviator. I'm sooo tempted to buy one even though I can't really afford another new vehicle at this time. Those proportions..

I think i mentioned in another post the Corsair FHEV and PHEV numbers will be roughly equivalent to the Fusion energi( range, MPG, power,etc). I was hoping for some improvements but i guess going from a sedan to a compact suv with the same numbers is decent as well.

It will be a mini aviator. I've seen the prototypes of some of the interior and interior.

Hey guys, it's essentially the same interior as the focus. As for the powertrains there will be improvements to fuel economy, power will not really change. The 1.5L gets 29 MPG average (27 city and 32 highway), there will also be a hybrid and PHEV that have similar numbers to the fusion hybrids

Correct, I've seen this same mule in a build location and under the hood was an electric PT (no ICE). It's an escape body

The next Gen F150 (P702) has a BEV trailing it shortly...you heard that right full battery electric F150.

The infotainment is double the length in the prototype I saw. It's a vertical screen.

Also please note since these units are in dearborn they are either VP and M1 prototypes. From what I've experienced these prototype units are garbo so many things wrong with them lol.. The TT units are rolling off the line in Chicago now. I expect whatever to be shown in the Detroit auto show to be a TT unit that will be basically representative of a production unit

I'm in the U625 (explorer) and U611 aviator VP units almost every week to do some testing. Not really a fan of the explorer design honestly but love the aviator. Something cool about the explorer will be the top end cluster, it's fully digital like the Lincoln ones. Also the whole UI changes depending on the drive mode selected

I work on on a feature for CD6 and put my heart and soul into this beast. Aviator is my favorite vehicle lincoln has ever launched and I'm hoping others love it as well

Found this picture online...looks strikingly similar to vehicle caught in camo

I think they are referring to the new Territory being launched in China. It does have some parallels. Notice the front end headlights and grill mating and lower fascia. Personally i find the design based of these spy shorts a degradation vs current production. I'm baffled someone signed off on this, things like this make me lose confidence in our high level decision making but i hope I'm overeating and the real thing w/o camo loos less foolish. http://www.thedrive.com/news/22737/the-new-china-only-ford-territory-crossover-might-be-glimpse-at-the-future-of-ford-suvs
