From what I remember, the GMC version of K5 Blazer started out as Jimmy (with two m's)  

I may be wrong (not the first time...) but didn't the GMC version start out as Jimny? 

Nah, the recent JD Power EVX and customer satisfaction study said this:   BEVs continue to have higher satisfaction than plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs): Overall satisfaction continues to be higher among BEV owners in both the premium (786) and mass market (727) segments versus comparable PHEV owners, particularly when it comes to satisfaction with the cost of ownership. Premium BEVs score 114 points higher than premium PHEVs in this area, while mass market BEVs outperform their PHEV counterparts by 117 points. Although PHEVs benefit from improved performance compared with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, they still carry the maintenance requirements of an internal combustion engine—cost and service needs that BEVs are able to avoid entirely.

The marketing big shots at Ford may have gotten lazy with their efforts involving MME, but customers love the product according to JD Power's recent customer satisfaction study. My wife considers her MME GT the best car she's ever had!    

Well, Ford is reportedly working on both CE1 crossover AND a Maverick-based hybrid crossover to cover both types of buyers (though with Ford, who knows if the latter is still on, as it was on then off and back on again).       What's crazy too is that Ford has long been one of the market hybrid leaders behind the Toyota hybrid juggernaut, yet they've seemingly for decades now resisted pushing further into hybrid territory (until recently) - hybrid products have long been reportedly production capacity limited etc etc., meanwhile Toyota has shifted several key products to hybrid-only without losing anything sales wise.

GMC Jimmy Revival Set As GM's Future Ford Bronco Rival   According to GM Authority, the automaker is now revisiting plans to revive the GMC Jimmy, and not as another unibody crossover - but rather, as a proper body-on-frame SUV. GM was reportedly in the midst of working on a new body-on-frame Jimmy several years ago, but ultimately scrapped those plans amid its previous EV push, coupled by stiffening fuel economy and emissions regulations.

I believe that "the Edsel moment" was the aborted 3 row EV SUV planned for Oakville....thankfully, that thing got dragged out back behind the barn and was mercifully put out of its misery early enough on to be but a distant (albeit bad) memory. 

Yea, good points jpd80 my friend. Ford's competitors including them Chinese automakers ain't sittin' still. What I mentioned earlier about Ford launching CE1 products (and other EV, for that matter) with the sales volume mentioned, on time, with high quality can't be emphasized enough.   I don't want this Model T moment (or Model A moment, as twintornados said) to turn into an Edsel moment.
