The 1970s till 1984-85 was such a weird time for the automotive industry

But that doesn't work for older posts.

Eh, I just tabbed through the pages until I found the thread.

I have a feeling that this shape of the long rounded corners and circles is going to be a reoccurring design on the vehicle, going by the other post

So I haven't seen this posted here yet: https://www.carscoops.com/2026/08/ford-fathom-pricing/   this shot shows how low the front end will be on it and how much the camo supposed is hiding   In this shot, you can see the headlights   Check out the elements towards the top on the left hand side light-looks familar? I'm going assume that the lower lights change to amber to work as turn signals.

I think it's the same issue with 2 3 letter words, which sucks because how else could you find posts on a Kia ev3?   Actually you can use google: site:blueovalforums.com "kia ev3"

Well, for instance, I also tried "Kia EV3" with and without quotes and it came up with nothing, when I knew I had previously made a post about that......though I guess maybe since it was 2 separate 3-letter words?       I guess the other search term I tried was VW, so that also makes sense.   Shrug.....disregard then I guess!

Is this an opinion or from actual info?     Yeah he apparently has sources, and somehow is supposedly able to see a lot of products prior to debut.     Agreed on both thoughts.

Thought process of going with the new Fathom name rather than Ranchero:   According to the automaker, here’s why a new name was chosen: “Fathom is an all-new vehicle, developed from the ground up on the new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform, using the new assembly tree manufacturing process and bringing new technology to Ford and the industry. All of these innovations called for a new, bold name – to give the vehicle personality, a soul, and make it a character in our customer’s life. This is the future of modern Ford.” Basically, Ford is indicating that the Fathom will appeal to a newer, younger demographic willing to drive EVs.   Rather than resurrecting a classic name for an entirely new vehicle that old-school purists would likely balk at, Ford is indicating that the new pickup is so advanced and modern that, not only is it aimed at a different crowd than the original Ranchero, but the truck is so different from previous Fords that a new name is arguably necessary to indicate that this is a new step forward for the Blue Oval.

Uhhhhhh ok? lol Why would it not have another box on the bottom left to create a better/more evident "F"?

To be fair, Chevy and VW showed several concepts for years or had the "concept" in movies (Transformers) for years before you could actually get it.  Ford's approach is a drip feed of features thus far, not seeing the actual design, so the design itself won't necessarily be old by the time it debuts/goes on sale.     Haha that's a blast from the past name.....     Meh, 4-6 months from name reveal to ordering doesn't include ordering to delivery timeline, which Ford typically has at another 6 months.  Most other companies debut the vehicle and name at once and then put it on sale within a couple of months.  Ford has always been excessively long with their debut to sale timeline.     In a recent question and answer segment on Reddit, Riley - from Ford's UEV team - said that customers will be able to pre-order the Ford Fathom in early January, meaning that it'll be early 2027 before that process begins. Notably, the official Fathom landing page indicates that pre-orders will open up in "early 2027," a bit more vague in terms of timing, though customers can sign up to receive updates in that regard.   Ford Fathom Electric Pickup Preorder Timeframe Revealed
