Heads up, NAIAS is in June now, starting with the 2020 show.

24mpg at 75mph? Psshh, I bet @akirby can manage 30mpg in his 3.5EB at 75mph. All kidding aside, I’m sure the 2.7EB could come close to 24mpg at a 75mph cruise, provide similar capabilities (towing, etc), and is likely more cost effective to maintain.

More teasing... https://www.motor1.com/news/369146/ford-mustang-inspired-crossover-teaser/

Or uhh Recallsssss

I didn’t see this posted, interesting stuff for sure... https://www.motor1.com/news/367234/ford-patent-filing-bronco-doors/

Or Ford could choose a design direction that isn’t ripped from an 8 year old concept.

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.
