I don’t disagree, but I never thought of it as off-road worthy anyway.  

Ford has a darn good plan in place right now. I think/hope they will stick with it. 

This is what I'm thinking as well.....     By saying that, the regular press folks will just say "oh ok" and move on to report what Ford wants them to report on...       That said, who knows.....it's Ford.....for all we know they changed plans since last week lol.

Well, given the Nautilus and Navigator were "all" new/full redesigns, vs Corsair and Aviator just being refreshes, it makes sense that they wouldn't have moved over to the new look/layout yet....

Did I understand that right that they have a Ford merchandise store that's only open Mon-Fri 9-5?  So nobody that works could actually go?

Can't read the article, but this contradicts all previous reporting of them basically saying "ok, we'll leave" not even trying.   My guess is dealers and maybe customers put up a big stink?

I figure he wants to get control of discourse and focus it away from products that frankly aren’t publicly confirmed, and were just shown at a dealer meeting and towards the Fathom and F150. Those two products are actually confirmed and are more important to Ford’s bottom line and future than these other ones. The other ones except maybe the 4-door Mustang probably won’t seriously alter Ford’s outlook or open up new business areas to explore. 

Yea and back to an inconsistent thing in the lineup.  I know this will be nitpicky but the experience should be the same across the board... and that's the power seat controls.  Not long ago the lineup had them all on the door the most recent models have moved them back to the side of the seat but now with this 2017 Corsair they are staying on the door.  So now the Corsair and Aviator have the power seat controls on the door and the Nautilus and Navigator have them on the side of the seat.  I wish they just kept them on the door to stay consistent.

That's not a good thing actually.  There have been a lot of issues with modern Lincolns that I have seen in a lot of groups of the B-Pillars developing these bubbles and they are expensive to replace.  I had to do it on both my MKZs 2013 and 2017.  And it's not just MKZs but I have seen it affect a lot of other Lincoln and Ford models so I hope it's NOT like the black B pillars  

Can't read the original AutoNews report on the Excursion. If it does actually come to fruition, it is good for me because an Excursion is one of my favorite cars of all time.    Perhaps there is a bit more to the increase in capacity Ford is building for its Super Duty line than we knew for the next few years, at least for a potential gas Excursion?
