Would also like to see new wheel designs. 

I don't think its been a thing in almost 8-10 years. I did a quick check of the Ford UK website and didn't see any mention of it as a trim level. Looks like the Titanium trim is the high end model like it is on some products in the NA market. 

Only by he who was banned.  Pretty sure everyone else agreed.

I don't disagree - but was wondering if Vignale is still a thing for the "luxury minded" Euro crowd?

Ford Initiates Stock Buyback To Avoid Dilution   According to the Detroit Free Press, Ford will buy back up to 31.7 million of its own shares, news that comes to us from a recent regulatory filing. The reasoning behind this move is pretty simple - the automaker is aiming to offset potential common stock dilution that could occur with those shares stemming from its employee compensation program, as well as other convertible instruments, as some zero percent notes were due this month.     The program is indeed an "anti-dilutive measure" that aims to offset the effect of share-based compensation, Ford spokesman Dave Tovar confirmed, which was granted to a number of salaried workers in March. When shares are distributed in this manner, it could dilute stock pricing because it introduces more shares into the market, so buying back some shares helps reduce that figure and offset any potential impacts. This isn't the first time Ford has executed a buyback after handing out share-based compensation, either - in fact, it did precisely the same thing in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, before skipping last year. As for the convertible notes, when a loan period ends, accrued interest must be repaid or converted into equity. Given its ongoing pivot to lower-cost EVs and hybrids/EREVs, coupled with broader global events, analysts note that now is a good time for Ford to execute such a move.

Look Chinese EVS are being sold in the USA. 😁

Based on differences in terms of how they were described, I'd say so. The Rivian based EV was described as having a ton of visual impact, with striking proportions. That's not how the star concept reads to me. It's not bad, it's just pretty by the numbers as far as an EV design goes. I don't see many people seeing the star concept and viewing it as this striking, exotic design. 

Same dude. I voiced it here a few times and got roasted for it. 

Yea, exactly. Here's what the F-150 owner's manual says:
