Well I hope he looks at Tahoe, Escalade and the GMC versions with their crisp looks instead of the current "chunky"-can't think of a better word-look  then they currently have.  this guy came from Riviana?  If so look at the Rivian SUV too..also much better IMO than the Lincoln versions.

This report says basically any of the specialty models aren't eligible (any Raptors, Super Duties, or specialty Bronco/Mustang models, as well as '25 Expy/Navi)....basically they're throwing it on everything they have excess inventory of lol.   Ford's Employee Pricing For Everyone Won't Get You a Cheap Raptor

Eh, I still think Mach E sits too low to appeal to Edge buyers.     If they're going to drop Escape, they need to add a Bronco Sport "Max" (LWB) AND a hybrid model (on regular and L), so that they can have a better ICE segment offering.

Well, the BRaptor at my local dealership said "employee pricing" next to it...

That's why it looks so much like a Canyon!   Not a first...the Bronco Raptor's are squircular also.

I think this is a good move, honestly.  It'll be interesting to see what powertrains they offer, though.  Is it going to be more of an appearance package, or is there going to actually be some sort of performance aspect to it (i.e. is it a "street Raptor" or is it just the regular 3.5 with some performance looks).   Seeing 2 different setups in photos, it almost makes it seems like it's more of an appearance package than a standalone model like Raptor.

I agree that it's better overall, I think a slight nip in width at the bottom would make it even better.  But either way, it definitely looks like a completely different vehicle than before, not a minor refresh.

Joaquin Nuno-Whelan Replaces Dianne Craig As President Of Lincoln   Back in November 2022, Ford announced that Lincoln CEO Joy Falotico would be retiring, with Dianne Craig set to take her place. Since then, Lincoln’s strategy has changed considerably, shifting away from EVs and toward a pair of new models that haven’t yet been revealed. Now, a little over two years after taking over the reins of Ford’s luxury brand, Dianne Craig has also opted to retire following a 38-year career at Ford Motor Company. Craig will retire at the end of April, and will be succeeded by Joaquin Nuno-Whelan. Craig has held a variety of roles within Ford’s ranks, including president of International Markets group, president of Ford of Canada, and chief executive officer at FordDirect. At Lincoln, she has overseen the successful launch of the redesigned 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, the all-new 2025 Lincoln Navigator, and helped the brand achieve it best U.S. sales results in 17 years. As for Nuno-Whelan, he takes over the top role at Lincoln with 25 years of global experience in vehicle and technology development after joining Ford in 2024 as the Vehicle Program Director for full-size utilities.

P.S. — It is called “Fording”, so maybe appropriate. 😀

Yeah, I'm hopeful we get something soon.
