Mondeo - Taunus 

I'm not thrilled about this, but if US automakers would have controlling stakes I'd be more inclined to listen.

Yeah I did!  I thought of Cougar, forgot to include it!  There's your proof that I didn't search!

Ok I get it.  I'm looking at Maverick which they absolutely nailed so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.  

What mpg would you expect from a hybrid Ranger?

Why do people buy Mavericks over Rangers?     Ford RWD hybrids only add about 6 mpg city and 0 highway.  That puts a hybrid Ranger at 27/26 while a hybrid Maverick is 42/35.  Hybrid Ranger doesn't move the bar just like Explorer hybrid didn't move the bar enough.   The breakthrough with ce1 is about production costs but that also translates into lower MSRPs which helps buyers and will yield higher volume.  I don't think they'll screw up the design or features in search of more aero and lower prices but we'll have to wait and see.    

I'd forgotten all about them. I've never seen one, but only ~212 were built. 

I bought a hybrid Nautilus. No regrets whatsoever.   FWIW, I was assigned a non-hybrid 2025 Nautilus as a loaner when my hybrid was at the dealership for replacement of the rear shock absorbers. My hybrid is MUCH peppier than the base turbo-four.
