HRG I was listening to Corey LaJoie's podcast a few weeks ago and he mentioned something about him seeing the Bronco at Phoenix. Didn't seem like a public event the way he said it.

T-dubz Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 So is this thing going to be “inspired” by the current or next gen mustang? curious if we will get a preview of some of the next gen mustangs design cues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at that profile view it looks to have the general shape of the S550 Mustang from the a-pillar forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellanca Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Glad to see this doesn’t have a silhouette akin to the I-Pace and Model X; this actually gives me hope that this won’t be an uggo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novanglus Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I like the looks of the line-drawing. If the actual car is that rakish, I’ll be putting a deposit on one immediately. Looks like a version of a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, but $100,000 cheaper. Edited October 24, 2019 by novanglus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 This is a design that I can really like. I'm glad they are not making a soccer mom CUV or another SUV. When they said Mustang inspired, they really meant it! I don't know why they couldn't have made the Taurus or Fusion into something like this earlier. This is a good transition of the car or sedan to the CUV world and if this is what they mean by new silhouette, then I'm on board for this!

I've only seen the body under a cover but it looked very car-like to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Something the Mach-E has particular fun with is the proportions afforded by the long wheelbase with that lengthened hood. They were able to get those RWD proportions instead of that typical EV wedge shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The teaser's line profile is accurate. The awful chops the magazines have been selling for months... are not. This thing will change long-established perceptions of Ford's place in the industry. I'm glad they had the stones to do it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Man this throws things for a loop for me-been wanting a Bronco, but after hearing some intel one of the options I wanted isn't most likely going to be in my price range...a Mach E would be perfect for me 85% of the time, since I drive 15 miles to work and only take a long trip a few times a year where I could steal my wifes car for...decisions decisions... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assimilator Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) This must be an old render, many of the details are wrong, especially the headlights and door handles (there are none). But that's roughly it anyway. It definitely looks better than this. The taillights are also better looking than these, but very similar with the horizontal element and c-shape segments. There are amber indicators in the rear lights btw. Edited October 25, 2019 by Assimilator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why for many a BEV is already the perfect 2nd or 3rd car in a family. And for a growing number it is increasingly viable for even one-car families. For me, it would have been tough for the unexpected road trip I had to do early this year in the middle of winter from Maryland to Colorado and back requiring very long driving days. I hate that kind of driving, but still sometimes have to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see taking short road trips but I wouldn’t be the type to take a route that includes charging stops on a 250+ mile road trip. I will just drive the shortest/fastest route in our 18mpg F150 for 600 miles before stopping for fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve driven 1300mi in a day before, but I didn’t like it...and would never want to duplicate it again. Ugh. My sciatic nerve might go on permanent strike. We did put about 600mi on the Model 3 one weekend and it was no big deal, though it does require more judicious use of the go pedal and a little planning. EVs are still a good ways from the simplicity of filling up at a gas station wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assimilator Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) The Mach E was being previewed to the press today, obviously under embargo. I've heard from some of them who are Tesla owners and they are thoroughly impressed and excited. One of them said the Dual Motor GT version gets 700HP. I was under the impression that it was under 600HP with dual 200KW motors, but maybe I'm missing something. They've been aiming for mid 3s for 0-60 performance. Again there are several versions of the Mach E, single motor, dual motor, different battery sizes (3 for Europe, 2 for the US). And once again, over 300 miles of range (330 is what I've heard). I don't know what the GT will do interms of Range, which model gets the best range, etc. And yeah, synthetic engine noises inside and out.

It'll be interesting to see if they come up with an iconic electric "Mustang" hum like Mustang's exhaust, which you always know is a Mustang.
