So now that we know this is the front of the truck for sure, a few observations.   1. Very clean upper fascia, there's no vents, fake grille pattern, or lighting that we can see.   2. The leading edge of the hood seems to droop or angle down quite a bit if we use the rag sitting in the hood as a reference. My guess is this will be kinda similar to a Maverick's hood where it drops down near the leading edge, and then levels out further back.    3. Maybe the boldest design detail is that white-ish horizontal strip running across the lower half of the front end. It looks a bit like a light bar to me, so maybe they're playing around with the placement of the lights, mounting a light bar lower in the front end to give it a more unique look?

I agree with Sherm, it's gonna be very interesting to see how all of this plays out. The two trucks are simultaneously pretty similar, and couldn't be more different at the same time.    They're both smaller, more affordable, apparently both will have a lot of accessories for customization. Apparently people who attended the Ford event back in August that gave us more details about CE1 said all of the vehicles might be build in one, fully loaded, configuration rather than having base and premium models. So both trucks might also be built with pretty limited off the line variations.    Yet the CE1 truck is a lot more advanced, faster, fun to drive, and 4 doors. I personally believe it's gonna blow slate out of the water, but time will tell. 

The Explorer was the best seller on this platform then the Taurus. The Flex had underwhelming sales as did the MKT.

You’re welcome, at least the problems were minimal. 

Correct and perhaps the current sales mix of Corsair also favours higher trims as well?

Me too. The green and tan was a great combination. Whenever I see a green and tan combination on something I call it the Eddie Bauer edition.

That's a good point regarding the transport chain.  On a cheaper model like Corsair on its own maybe the math is fuzzy, but if you already have a boat going over with Nautilus, you'd just take more space.

What a shame. Their clothes were pretty decent before they got taken over by private equity. I also really miss those Eddie Bauer Explorers and Expeditions....

I think it’s still viable to import Corsair and since the Nautilus transportation chain is already in place, maybe a lot easier than if a stand alone decision    Tariffs make things hard but maybe the premium price of Lincoln justifies the effort in keeping those monthly sales - established market, Ford can see real figures. Should know soon and if no announcement to the contrary Lincoln may play own coming from China
