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?

Polestar is claiming they where strung along by the current administration    https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ev-maker-polestar-says-trump-administration-strung-it-along-before-u-s-ban

Nothing new about that statement. Levine stated it several days ago:   Update: A Ford spokesperson reached out to KBB but did not confirm or deny the Automotive News report, saying, “We are not going to comment on future product speculation, much of which is inaccurate. What we can say is Ford is focused on delivering a massive product renewal that will refresh 80% of our North American portfolio by volume by 2029. This includes the all-new Ford Fathom midsize pickup on the new Universal Electric Vehicle platform, alongside the next-generation F-150 and F-Series Super Duty.”     

For sure when it comes to the command staff-below the Whitehouse and the Secretary slot.

More for Every Drive: Inside the 2027 Lincoln Corsair Hybrid There’s a moment I think about often: the one right after you close the door at the end of a long day and the noise of the world falls away. That quiet exhale is the Lincoln feeling and the inspiration for when we began to update the 2027 Corsair Hybrid. Corsair is our smallest, most agile vehicle, and for so many people, it’s their first introduction to Lincoln. That's a responsibility we take seriously. When someone chooses Corsair, they’re telling us they want a vehicle that feels well-made and has more to give when it matters, but they don’t want it to feel complicated. They want it to feel effortless. So, for 2027, we asked ourselves a simple question: how do we give customers more of what they love, without ever disrupting that sense of calm?  Power That Works  The answer is now standard across the Corsair lineup: every 2027 Corsair is powered by a new 2.0-liter turbocharged high-output hybrid engine with all-wheel drive and 305 maximum horsepower, delivering best-in-class standard hybrid horsepower.1 Just confident, fun-to-drive electrified power that makes every day behind the wheel feel a little more seamless. To me, real luxury is technology that feels effortless, technology you never have to think twice about. https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articles/2026/inside-the-2027-lincoln-corsair-hybrid

The U.S. Military is learning a lot from the war in the Ukraine.

I wonder if the start of the inaccurate information is the plan for a Bronco truck. 😂 There would actually be some comedy value to having a high-level Ford exec chime in on a "future product" when Ford's policy has long been "we don't comment on future products".

If I happened to be over that way for some reason, I'd 100% stop in. The merch area at the Chicago Auto Show that Ford brings is unrivaled by any other brand there, and a static Ford Store, plus a chance to glimpse the Archives stuff? Heck yeah!

Might be a good case for PPF
