Is that a running horse emblem I see in the grill??? 😜

No offense intended, but if you are concerned about Ford using the Mustang heritage to sell this BEV, you should probably get over it. I’m a Mustang guy, I think it’s brilliant. “We want to create vehicles that that make people smile,” Marentic said. “We don’t plan to spend a lot of money on marketing....” https://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2019/08/ford-readying-for-mustang-inspired-suv-as-it-leans-on-icons/

Ford Authority is now reporting that the baby Bronco could be named Bronco Sport. I like Scout but anything is better than Adventurer. http://fordauthority.com/2019/08/baby-ford-bronco-may-not-called-adventurer/

Good stuff! If what jpd80 states is true and the Mach is indeed a compact CUV, I could see a $50k starting price. I was expecting more of a midsize CUV (comparable to Edge in size), either way...I am excited to see what Ford has to offer. Out of curiosity I searched the local dealer for I-pace inventory. The dealer has 5 in stock, least expensive is $85k.

Model X starts at $81k. I realize all the pricing is before any tax credits. We shall see, but I highly doubt this premium sport BEV is starting at $50k.

I wish, JPD...Mach whatever is going to be ~$70k if it offers similar capabilities as the Model X.

Again, you have a perception about what people want. Not always true. I do agree that the strategy makes perfect sense. Unfortunately for auto manufacturers, sometimes those business strategies don’t turn out so well. However, like you said, we will see how the Escape sells. I have no doubt that anything with the Bronco nameplate will sell like crazy, at least initially.

Ford should hire you as the chief marketing officer. You spin anything Ford into a great story ....You seem to know what everyone wants and Ford offers a vehicle to meet all target markets (although the reality is they don’t).

Huh? Confirm because FCA has milked the same damn platform for 14 years. Why use something new when these vehicles still sell and are profitable (yeah Ford does the same thing). I’m not so certain that FCA is willing to throw a new platform at the Challenger/Charger....considering Ford seems reluctant to commit to a new platform for the Mustang.

Love it! Wish the Explorer/Aviator had a more integrated display.

Ford Bronco Adventurer XLT Ecoboost AWD. I’m not sure there is enough sheet metal on the rear lift gate to display all of the necessary badges. 😜

Read the thread and my initial response to the Porsche photo that blownsmoke posted.

You’re right, the S2000 looks better than that stale/boring Porsche styling. To each their own.

No thanks. Looks like a S2000. I wouldn’t own a Vette either but the C8 looks great and GM deserves some credit.
