akirby Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The spy shots are old but the rendering is new. I like it and I don’t generally like wagons. Some speculation about calling it Evos.

T hawker Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I like it. I don't have a problem with "wagons", i would buy one if it was high enough off the ground (bad back). My Nautilus is the perfect height for me...perhaps that's the difference between wagons and cuv's. Buick has or had one, Regal X or something like that. Too low for me, but i liked it.

sullynd Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) If they offered a “Coupé” version (ala MB GLC Coupé) if might grab some traditional sedan buyers. I didn’t like the MB at first but it’s grown on me. Edited September 27, 2020 by sullynd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGR Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 This is what I expect from the Fusion "whitespace" vehicle: a blend of hatchback, wagon, and CUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Turbo Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Not bad.............but it's just a current gen (for us Europeans) Focus Active Estate with Mach E headlamps. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MB8ZHzj17UE/maxresdefault.jpg[/img] Edited September 27, 2020 by Twin Turbo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the fusion will look like render or the focus wagon though. ford should pay attention to that render though, that front end looks better then the focus or escape. The Mach e headlights and their position in relation to the grille really change the look. Edited September 27, 2020 by T-dubz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailhiker Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Looks old already. Ford needs a complete new front end look without that tired grille shape. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It debuts next year so there is time but you’re right - if it was going to OAC it would have been in the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have five unnamed EVs coming here, which in truth is probably 1-2 vehicles with 5 different variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't add anything else there, probably, but we know at least 1 more product is going in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what else goes there besides Maverick and how many they sell and whether they run 3 shifts or 2. I think Hermosillo capacity is about 330k.
