Yeah hopefully the next redesign is able to recapture some of that passion. The base s650 isn't a bad car, bad performing, bad looking, it's just not bold or forward thinking enough to be a real home run in either of those areas.

I hope they find to ensure the quality is also world class. If it is, this info along with the article on the new computing hardware this thing is gonna have paints an incredibly impressive picture. Ford could genuinely become the leader in the affordable EV world if they're able to pull all of this off.
The original name for the 2007 Shelby GT500 was: Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Shelby GT500 - I still have all of the emails on that one!
I feel the same way, however I am not certain why. The overall Mustang's excitement just doesn't seem to be there....
Yes, I understood you meant Ranger Super Duty.
I'm just not understanding why it'd need that extra capability.
Yeah, Toyota sold 275k Tacomas last year (for reference, that's more than Colorado, Canyon, Ranger, and Ridgeline combined).
Ford just seems content with whatever they sold, though to be fair, Ranger had its highest sales since 2021. It'll be interesting to see if they push for more this year (along with current Bronco volume).
I agree - I like how the Scout truck looks.
It would be neat if they revealed that, or something else alongside the next cobra/boss. I think a lot of us just want to see something new that isn't a new trim or variant of an existing model.
Some sources claim Ford's gonna be revealing multiple vehicles, but who knows if that's accurate.
I think it's a combination of things, the long shelf life of the s550, and the fact that the s650 is basically s550 v2. I want to be excited, and I am excited about some variants, the GTD is cool, and the mustang raptor renderings I've seen look sick, but the design overall is starting to feel a bit tired.
I'd love if Ford did like a mustang concept or something like Chevy did with the c9 concepts, just some fresh to get excited about.
I personally believe this is the best looking mid-sized truck coming out. A mid-sized truck with this sort of styling at a lower price would be a smashing success in theory.
Scout and Bronco are pretty similar in terns of design,similar blocky shape and proportions, even the rectangular grille, and so on, so this could actually end up being close to the final design. It's more proportional and better looking than most of the bronco truck renderings I've seen.
