Probably. I was thinking the same thing. Also possible that the patent is a very generic version of Fathom. Not accurate to proportions.

I think we're looking at different things. I think We're looking at the A-Pillar, not the start of the windshield, which is curved so even more difficult to see where it actually lands in relation to the front wheel, as opposed to the A-pillar which is right next to the wheel. Either way, even the windshield isn't as far forward as in the patent, according to your vertical line.    I do think a more cab-forward look would be cooler and sleeker but just dont think we're getting one AS DRAMATIC as the patent. To your point, maybe it will retain some of that look with the windshield curved forward. Really excited to see this thing uncovered.

CX810 is the replacement for Chinese CD6 Explorer but the two will probably live side by side for a while before Ford decides whether to pull the plug on the (badly aging) CD6 Explorer in China.   The Lincoln version is obviously the replacement for CD6 Aviator.    CX810 is Chang'an Ford product, not Jiangling Ford which has Bronco Basecamp. Two different models.   Brand: Chang'an Ford / Jiangling Ford Compact: Escape / Equator Sport (Territory) Midsize: Edge L / Equator Large: Explorer / Bronco Basecamp    

Sorry, but your vertical line is no where near the bottom of the windshield. Here is a better picture. Even in this pic, I think the windshield could still be covered by camo a bit which would push that line even further forward.

Front Rear cab, Rear tailgate left front, left rear right front, right rear underbody front, underbody rear    not sure what additional cameras would be used for

I could see 8 cameras making sense:   Front Left side Right side Tailgate backup Rear cab (bed) Rear cab (mirror) Under body (front) Under body (rear)     Not sure where the other three would be?

found this one.....  

The Mercury Freestyle was just about done-there was spyshots of it with covers over the front and rear end, then Mercury was killed off. 

Sadly, I haven't done any vehicle drawing (or really drawing in general) in a long time...

More recently, things we've been discussing....
