You beat me to this post about the pricing. I understand the production location is China, but I would really like to understand how they arrived at this pricing better. Those numbers are eyebrow raising.  The base price of a new 2015 Fusion was $22,500 for perspective.  

I agree, but putting that aside,  I think both of those vehicles are good looking at least. 

Maybe some common sense will prevail with the CEO, instead of trying to alienate a large majority of your customers. 

this is an enthusiast website, so we notice things more than most people probably do, however msn.com is not. If they’re starting to notice things like that, then I anticipate more regular people are as well.  I would never consider a 2026 Explorer because of these changes.   I really don’t understand bringing out a new model or even a revised model with a set of features, and then systematically eliminating them from that point forward. I find that to be bait and switch.  The changes are typically subtle enough that you don’t notice them until after the sale, because the sales people are certainly not going to point them out. I’d be really curious to hear the comments by the public when they go in to purchase an Explorer and they find a fixed glass roof instead of one that would open.  You can’t miss that one.  

Maybe its getting the new 2.3L I4 downsized? 

I suppose shame on my Nephew for not noticing beforehand, though he probably would have bought it anyway, but he went to use them and they were not there.  So apparently he uses them.  

I have a2019 Ford F-250 lariat ultimate 6.7 diesel that has lost the gas guage and distance to empty calculations. The fuel economy screen still displays the mpg .  just the guage looks like no fuel in tank.    Has anyone heard about or seen this before?  

This is hopefully the valve that releases the pressure that the automotive industry has been feeling over the past few years. 

compare to tesla what do you think which is better?

Makes me wonder is Ford  being deliberately ambiguous by not clarifying product?   CE1 had three vehicles at yearly intervals, the new electric platform’s flexibility would seem to be muddying the water on products, next 12 months will be really interesting
