I think there's a near zero chance it'll be completely unique style wise to save development costs.  At this point, I'd say we'll see it debut alongside (or maybe ushers in) a refresh of the '24+ model.     That's what I suggested earlier from a practicality standpoint - a hatch (with a coupe roofline) would make the most sense.

I don't understand why the visor mounted opener button is powered all of the time. Many of us have more vehicles than garage space. My Expedition lives in my driveway and anyone that breaks into it can then use the button on the visor to open my overhead door. Why not power the button from a circuit that is off when the vehicle is off?   Dave. 

Greetings to all of my fellow Blue Oval devotees. I live near Cincinnati, OH and always have. Nearly 73 years. My dad worked at the Ford Parts Depot in Evendale, OH (Cincinnati) from 1950 until retirement in 1980. Needless to say I grew up interested in cars and specifically Fords. My wife of 50 years and I continue to buy Ford, Lincoln and in the day, Mercury products. OK. I do have to admit to the '63 Corvette coupe that I owned for a couple of years. Jet boats were more important and the 'vet was not a tow car so I replaced it with a Chevy 4x4 pickup for towing purposes. I ordered a Expedition late last month to replace my 2017. I have a 1969 Mach 1 R code for my fun car. Rescued from a stalled restoration in Jacksonville, FL a career body man took 2 1/2 years to complete the job. We go to local car shows and cruise-ins. I enjoy meeting and talking with people with my same interests. I spent 26+ years as a street cop in my home city and 14 more as a deputy bailiff in the municipal court. I also spent 6 years in the U.S. Army Reserves in a Military Police unit. Sharon and I both retired in 2014 so we are able to do some traveling. Our son lives near Orlando so we visit the grandkids a couple of times a year. As I write this I am sitting in a rented condo in Cocoa Beach looking at the sun and waves as well as hoping to see 2 launches tonight. Thanks for reading my ramblings.   Dave.

Now a sport back I could live with.  It would need to be an ICE with a hatch.   But alas, as previous stated by others, dealers were shown a sedan.  So probably not in the cards.

They could take the CD6, make it look like an Audi Q5 Sportback with Mustang styling and call it the Mach 4. I'd be okay with it as long as the 5.0 Coyote was an option and it would start under $50K. I would place an order as soon as they'd let me to replace my Edge ST.      I'd be okay with a sedan as well with Audi S5 Sportback styling, as long as it also had the 5.0 Coyote as an option and start under $50K.  

I mentioned this in the first reply. This $4.76 billion transfer is not an investment but backfilling the negative capital account of Ford Europe which has to be done to avoid tax penalties. Ford is not investing in Europe, in fact quite the opposite. There is no new product coming after Focus and Kuga are done. 

This brings up an interesting point, this sedan may use the s650's platform, but will it look like an s650 stretched, or will it be its own unique design? There's pros and cons to both.    What does have me concerned is the consumer reception to the s650 has been rather lackluster, and it's gonna look even more dated seeing that design on a sedan 2-3 years from now.    Perhaps Ford could use a sedan to explore new styling that's bolder to gauge the reaction to that, and apply that same styling language to a next gen coupe once it releases near the end of this decade or so. 

StevePin Florida, I am brand new to this forum and on the verge of buying a dash cam. I found a product by Dongar that lets you power the cam from the rear view mirror. The kit uses a short harness that you plug into the back of the mirror and plug the factory mirror cable into the other end of the harness. The harness then has a connector for powering the cam via a short wire. There are 3 different short wires with different connectors to match the camera power port included in the kit. There may not be power to the mirror/camera when the ignition is OFF taking the parking mode of the camera out of the mix. There is at least one other kit that taps into the harness that is inside the black box on the windshield behind the mirror. I have not used either of these products but YouTube videos are available.    Dave.

Love to see this project proceed but I think Ford now has a lot more pressing issues on its plate……

I would think new bodysides, new roof, new doors, new rear floor pan and some new reenforcement pieces, mainly in the new b-pillar area. Most of the rest should be common from a body standpoint. Maybe a reworked front and/or rear subframe to accommodate the extra body length and weight.
