I think the other issue here is that Tesla has screwed the premium market up a bit esp when it comes to pricing-I don't think the interiors on them are anything special..they remind me of Ikea furniture-which is fine, but it's also "cheap" to a point because its flatpacked and you have to put it together yourself. I also don't think their furniture will hold up all that well long term either. Tying this back to luxury cars-there is def has been a general rollback in my eyes when it comes to luxury cars interiors-but I also think that also goes back to the some what horrible styling trends we've been seening over the past 5 years or so with products looking like fucking iphones or just being bland as hell-it works fine for a hand head, but vehicles need to show some sort of emotion/style/class to them. -

My guess is it follows the regular Mustang pretty much identically. Might get some more luxury goodies the 2 door doesn’t have which will obviously add to the price. we’ll see. -
I’ve been thinking about this and have posted on Aussie Forums regarding the possiblity of adding the 2.0 diesel to the PHEV Ranger. Chinese brand Chery is about to elease a 2.5 diesel PHEV pickup in Australia, touting ability to tow 3.5 tonnes as well as giving good fuel economy and low emissions in city driving. The big issue with BYD Shark 6 is that when you ask it to tow 1.5 tonnes it drinks fuel with one owner claiming 23 litres/ 100 km which is around US 10 mpg (bloody awful)

I think a Lyriq type Nautilus EV would sell well (for an EV).

It's not that they didn't want an EV for Lincoln. They just totally screwed up the first 2 efforts and by the time they figured it out they had too many other more important vehicles to develop and launch. That's been their biggest enemy the last 15 years. Poor planning. 1 step forward, 3 steps back. Lack of due diligence and taking too many risks that didn't pan out wasting time and money.

Adjusted for inflation it costs what a Hemi Charger previously cost but you don’t get a Hemi and they just don’t have the lower trims. It also has just rock bottom reputation with how awful the launch was. They should offer a cheaper trim below the Hurricane, probably Pentastar V6, but this new charger is so fucking heavy they need to find a way to squeeze more power out of it because people probably won’t accept the Hurricane turbo-4 on a Charger. It will be great on the GLH, Airflow, and Cherokee (probably detuned slightly on the latter two) but not the Charger.
-
RWD Chargers sold fine up here though until they were killed off, Mustangs sell okay right now. 2-doors and RWD only is a hard pill to swallow, if you gave it 4-doors I think a lot of people would be willing to bite the bullet on RWD-only. Ford also has better anti-theft than Dodge plus nobody wants to steal an Ecoboost. If they put the motors on the front axle (which would be far more optimal from a regen perspective) it would solve the problem entirely.

It’s honestly not going to be particularly important for Lincoln until like the mid 2030s, unless they can’t find a way to continue Corsair. They have great hybrids for the small end of the lineup, and the real moneymakers and direction of the brand (Navigator, most likely Lincoln Bronco) are more likely to have a hybrid or EREV solution for the time being than pure BEV. I’d be more interested in if Lincoln is allowed more creative agency with this new direction they’re bringing it in than necessarily the powertrain, which is just going to simply be whatever Ford provides it.

The Ridgeline is built from Accord bones, which I think both will stay in production for now. The Ridgeline is more a suburban dad-truck that isn't going to see capacity payload or towing, just nice to have open carrying space now and then. Unless the new Xterra/Frontier and its licensed builds are significantly better than the Tacoma and the upcoming Ram "Dakota", it/they will further parse the pie chart for GM and Ford, leaving Tacoma largely unchanged. Ford is wise to move the NA Ranger into the F-Series family and going all in with the Fathom. I see a shakeout in the next decade, which at that time if everything today is true, there will be ten compact/midsize trucks in a relatively small market space.
