So just trying to piece together the design to the best of our knowledge using press material so far. We know that close up is the front of the truck now, with a sealed grill, and an angled hood. Many of us also believe this clay model is the truck, so it gives us a better idea of the overall proportions. I also believe this fender is the truck, or at least, very similar to what the truck will have. It has that horizontal hood look closer to the windshield that we know the truck has, because the reaction vid shows us that portion of the hood isn't that angled, but then also swoops down near the leading edge like we can see in the close up. 

Borg is claiming the sub 40k car is the mustang sedan. So I wonder if the sedan is gonna be this affordable EV sedan after all, or if the mustang sedan will co-exist with another affordable EV rwd sedan that goes by a different name like escort, falcon, or Galaxie. 

Yet Farley is still employed. 

As someone who owns an Escape and rented several BS, I concur.  They are not the same.  It has to be stretched if they want that to happen. 

Yes, they certainly did.     MSRP 2025 - $56,770, 2026 - $56,905 Sun/Sound Pkg, 2025 - $2,995, 2026 - $3,340   In addition to the decontenting previously discussed, not only did they remove the opening sun roof they raised the price of the package with its fixed glass. I also noticed they removed the bin cover in the center console, the small tray in the armrest, and the ST specific key fobs, that were available on the 2025 model.    Then there’s this little doozy.     The dealer delivered the car to us and we did the paperwork at my house.  I didn’t notice until the next day.  I called the dealer and initially they thought it was the way they came now, but after looking at their other STs on the lot they had a few that had the ST emblem and some with the a 4x4, which is disappointing for Ford’s quality control.  Ultimately it is a misbuild.      To answer your 2nd question, I was recommending an Aviator, Audi Q8, LR Defender 130, and RR Sport.    She didn’t want the Aviator, which I did, because she thinks they still present an old person image. Ironically we aren’t spring chickens, lol. She was meh on the Q8.  She didn’t go with the Defender or the Sport,  because the dealer was too far away, but the Sport was also a little too expensive.     Frankly there isn’t anything particularly exciting  out there right now, which is why this will be a stop gap message.  She put a deposit on the Scout Traveler with the range extender, which is probably the most interesting thing coming out in the near future.    

that’s an interesting take but the pillar interior looks too think to be from the angle you’re suggesting, IMO

Agreed. It's a shame those plans went out the window, but of all the Ford plans, they seem like some of the most logical to dust off and try again. Cd6 seems like a really capable platform, heck, if it can make the explorer a solid performance car, I can only imagine how well an actual sedan or coupe on that platform would handle if just a bit of effort was put in.    It's just sitting there begging to be optimized and improved. 

I’m convinced they are purposely kneecapping it.  There are lots of potential customers for cheaper options. 

I think you’re reading into things that aren’t there.  This is (I think) talking about a smaller van no?
