I had a Mustang.  Now I have a Bronco.   SUVs are more practical, and the Bronco can recreate the open-ness of the Mustang with the practicality of an SUV.   I wouldn't purchase a Mustang sedan, but would've kept my Mustang if I didn't have to make payments on it.

My gosh my MIL is the worst!  My FIL passed away 21 years ago, and her son is out of touch most of the time, so I'm the only guy she has for advice.  She'll ask me a question and I'll give her my thoughts.  She ignores me.  She'll talk to her son months later and he'll tell her the same thing I said and suddenly "Wow, that's a great idea!"  Ugh, you think?  🙄   A few months ago, she said she wanted to pay her house off.  I said why and her response was "to get rid of the payment."  OK, but your interest rate is low, and it would be costing you money to pay your house off because you are earning more interest than you are paying.  Mumble mumble.  This weekend she comes over, showing me some paperwork from her financial guy.  She says "I asked him about paying my house off.  fordmantpw says I shouldn't do it blah blah blah."  He says "what is paying it off going to get you?  You should probably listen to him because he's got the right idea."  I laughed and of course had to say "see, I told ya!"  😄

Agreed!  The Mercedes star DRL is a nice touch though.

I've actually said that exact thing myself with the mustang gt3. Just evolving the proportions of the mustang but trying to keep the essence of it.    My ideal take on a next gen mustang design would be something with the lines of a 1967 gt 500, but with the proportions of a Lexus LC 500, and the surfacing of an Aston Martin. Trying to retain that muscle car feel, but moving it in a more evocative direction. 

JPD seemed to indicate that the BS would still be at Hermosillo   The question of the hour is how does Ford mitigate the tariff issues that importing the BS from Spain would cause.   They are currently using Bonded carriers for Canada and Mexico   https://fordauthority.com/2025/05/ford-sidesteps-trump-tariffs-with-bonded-carrier-pivot/  

All-New Mercedes-Benz GLB Debuts, But Only As a Pure EV - Autoblog         I don't know what they're doing design wise over at Mercedes.....yikes.

She probably didn't like your "tone" 😂   Using logic on your wife is like trying to teach your dog to speak French.......   Now if her girlfriends suggested the same thing she'd be all over it.

Hermosillo can do 350K and it's already been reported that the new Bronco Sport will be imported from Spain.

Is this like all the cheap Chinese things you can buy off Amazon?  It works perfectly for the first week, then things quit working and suddenly blue tooth doesn't connect and then you have to send it back and buy the more expensive item like you should have done the first time?

It boils down to confirmation bias-it's just like EV fires-they get a lot press because they are something new/different, but yet have lower rates then ICE powered vehicles
