Ron W. Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 And once again we will wait for what seems like forever for a real photo of what it's going to look like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have 6 months left this year...you realize that right? It should be in production by the end of the year too-The Mexican plant building the Fiesta goes down in the next month or two to retool for the Mach E and Scout.

I don't think it will be in production until sometime next year. What we'll see this year is the concept version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd generation was really well done and with the Mazda foundation/mechanics, it was very reliable and loads of fun to drive. That being said, the nameplate should rest!

Given the fact the Fiesta goes away in July/August-they are going to spend 6 months retooling an idle plant? I find that hard to believe. It didn't even take that long to retool Edison from the Escort to the Ranger 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm guessing the concept will premiere at LA Auto Show in November. Production version probably in Detroit Auto Show in June 2020 (or whenever it got moved to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows exactly what Ford plan to build at Cuautitlan because the plan keeps changing. But the best guess is MACH E because the timing makes sense. Maverick launch is another year away so it could be at Hermosilo with Transit Connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fusion is being built til 2023MY-so that throws a monkey wrench into that happening. I was under the impression that the Maverick would be in production summer of next year-which would line it up with Cuautitlan also, since its launching before the Bronco, which is Nov/December of 2020-next year. Maybe they are building the Mach E, Maverick/Scout, C Pickup and Transit Connect all at the same plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's preferential to Ford continuing to call it a Mustang.....that IMO, is disrespectful to the heritage Mustang and Ford could see a huge backlash for trying to make Mustang a sub brand.

I dunno-it would add up pretty quickly- Mach E-50-75k Scout-50-100k C Pickup 50k TC-40-70k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering will the Mach E be a gas car with an E/V variant or a pure electric only?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been told enough times that Cuautitlan gets Model E and Puma, the fiesta replacement transitConnect, the compact pick up and baby Bronco are Hermosillo and those products will ramp up as Fusion fades away in CY 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
