But, the unconfirmed rumor is that Trump would agree to waive all tariffs for Ford if they renamed Lincoln Motor division the Trump Motor division...

Nah that was this:   I also just realized how terrible of a name that would make for a car these days lol

Can't fix stupid, can you? 😛  

But yet no one bitched about the leg space in the pre 2020 Escape, which is identical to the current Bronco Sport and Maverick.   IMO I don't think its enough to dissuade perspective buyers who drive their vehicles without passengers 80-90% of the time, if not more.   Plus if space was truly an issue, family would move up to an Explorer, which actually has less leg room then the current Escape (39 inches)
