jpd80 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks for posting ice-capades, Fusion crossover is certainly taking on more of the Edge's overall shape. This is clever, A crossover that potentially covers most Fusion and Edge buyers, no weight penalty thanks to C2 and made in Mexico. The other side of this, will there be a C2 Lincoln Nautilus based on the above? Maybe get the rest of those photos before Ford gets them taken down Edited December 26, 2020 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually want Lincoln to take the smaller BS C2 platform for a sub-Corsair crossover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing out of Oakville after Mid 2023 until the electrics in 2025, that's about two years in Ford speak So would Ford consider importing Nautilus from Chyna or have another local offering ready to go?

ice-capades Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 In any event, it'll be interesting to see what Ford reveals regarding actual plans for the Edge/Nautilus and the Mondeo/Fusion and how those vehicles are positioned in the North America, European and Chinese markets. And as those plans are announced we'll really see what the transition to BEV vehicles is going to look like. The market reaction to the Mustang Mach-E will be the first step until we know more about Ford's plans for BEV development, new models and progress at Lincoln.

Twin Turbo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Whilst we obviously can't see the details with this camo.................one thing I will say, the Mondeo/Fusion (we also got the Mondeo estate) was a superb looking car, relatively low and sleek in a world where every other car is a bland, high-waisted SUV. This looks to be just another blob which. Its getting to the point that without seeing the name badge, its difficult to tell these things apart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I guess I just don't see where an overgrown Fusion fits in a world that already has the ecosport, the escape, the explorer, but specifically the edge.

Dequindre Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Maybe this would look better if we got a sense of its overall length. The Outback is attractive because it's visually longer (because of its lower roof height) than most mid-size crossovers. The angle of these photos kind of obscures its length.

bzcat Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'm certain there will be a Lincoln version of Mondeo but probably only in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
