Audi’s New Q7 Will Pull Itself Over If You Pass Out While Enjoying A Massage | Carscoops         I think they did a good job with it.   There's a bigger Q9 coming too.  

Never bring your car to a new car dealership unless it's for a paid recall or part of the warranty. Dealers don't make money SELLING cars, they make it REPAIRING them! Ford founder Henry Ford back around 1912 said if he could be guaranteed all the replacement parts biz, he'd give the cars away for free! I've done all my repairs myself for most of 60 years either in my driveway or using my service station customers' lifts afterhours. I had been selling auto parts to them for 30 years. Unfortunately they've died or it became a convenience store. One of them where I had been bringing my car the last few years because I just don't have the oomph at age 75, just closed, so I bring my car to a friend's barn  50 miles away who has a lift. We work on it together. Since I don't beat my vehicles and they've all been bought used, they've lasted 12 to 20 years and reached 280K to 480K miles. I've only owned 6 cars -- some simultaneously and mostly Fords -- and only one was bought new in 60 years. I'm not bragging but I've only done maybe 10 oil changes in my life. Shame on me? But look how long they've lasted! And I didn't get rid of them because they died. I chose to get rid of them for life changes. As long as the oil is full and the coolant is full and at proper mixture, you're good to go. But keep in mind these are older cars. You know, the ones that were made to last. Not these new cars that many use thin 0W-20 oil and which are junk. I'm currently driving a 2008 Camry because I couldn't find a used Ford. It's 18 years old with 290K miles and I've done two oil changes since I bought it 10 years ago. Except for 2 brake jobs and 2 sets of 4 tires, I've had no major repairs! I've been driving with the engine light on for 2 years! It runs like a top! Oh I forgot, I replaced the starter myself last year. I've never replaced the belts and hoses. And I'm afraid to take preventative action and replace them because the belts and hoses they're making today are junk! I replaced the belt on my 50 year old clothes washer rather than buy a new one because the new ones are junk! My philosophy has been if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Sorry for the rant!

No Reserve: 6k-Mile 1985 Ford Mustang GT Convertible for sale on BaT Auctions - ending June 16 (Lot #247,824) | Bring a Trailer

I had a '26 loaner last week.  I agree on most of your review except, not enough physical buttons too much screen control. I should not have to touch and screen to adjust the air flow from the dash vents.  And changing temp took too much time off the road. The voice control was working to change the temp for about half the week, but then it kept reporting 'can't connect..'   I simply desire the buttons on my 2023. To change the temp drop my hand down the to the lone toggle switch and push toward/away from the dash. I can quickly look at the screen to confirm it's the desired temp. Also, I want a knob to change stations.    Otherwise, they did a fantastic job.

I’m ready for a collab with Lenco on a Bronco based “BearCub”! Doesnt need to be armored… just needs to be matte black or OD green with the design elements of the Super Duty based BearCat. 

Yeah I wouldn't expect the final unveiling till October/November.

I'm thinking we're only going to start seeing torn up mules soon, rather than something that looks like final form, and that they wouldn't want to reveal too much yet with their drip feed campaign.

You nail it on how Ford waters down concepts. The Iosis was a masterpiece, but production realities always crush that aggressive stance and tumblehome. As for the US market, it’s a tough sell. It lacks the refinement for Lincoln and doesn't fit the Ford badge here. The Milan definitely handled the rear styling better than this clunky setup. Classic Ford: teasing us with genius, delivering compromise.

Wonder why they didn’t just show it in camo instead of announcing it. 

Hopefully this is indicative of the Universal Platform team's mindset. Ford has, shall we say, a stout history of announce-hype-lackluster launch-tepid rollout to dealerships. The 2020 Explorer followed that path. The 2025 Expedition too. Heck, even the Bronco was years of hype after the announcement, and then each dealership got one Bronco that had to be a mannequin. Depending on the dealership, you got a Bronco set up how zero people would actually order it - I know several stores in my area got exactly the same setup. What I've been seeing and hearing of the Universal program is much different, less "legacy auto manufacturer", which could mean a lot of good things and probably a stumble or two along the way.
