MME is a great choice for that amount of driving: it's comfortable, agile, and practical.

I could see this being popular for college campuses, resorts, golf courses, and other large properties that require transportation for maintenance activities. 

5 years ago, sure. Today it’s probably the 2 I mentioned and that’s it

That actually makes me realize - Ford probably isn’t using the old Shelby GT350 etc names because they are inevitably going to have to put hybrids in at least some of these models, breaking from the past to these new names (Dark Horse) on some variants gives Ford greater ability to assert, “No, a hybrid V8 can be a Dark Horse because its this new thing we’ve defined over the past 5 years” rather than “Uh Carol Shelby would have loved hybrids if he weren’t dead” to the cargo cult.   Personally I appreciate this because I would greatly prefer Ford innovate with their performance offerings than cling to nostalgia, it makes the line a lot more appealing to a young guy like me who values that innovation. I’d love a hybrid V8 Mustang (or an Ecoboost hybrid which would be a viable daily driver despite it being a joke) and if Ford had to call it a Shelby people would lose their minds.

300K miles over 5 years is 5K miles a month, jeeze 1200 miles a week

Not sure it looks fantastic, it looks like someone stepped on a hatchback in my eyes   The camshell rear looks hideously expensive to replace from a minor fender bender 

The teaser seems to imply a Cobra R variant will also be coming. We’ll see how it all shakes out.    If Jim Farley had a sense of humor he’d have the Cobra R be a hybrid Ecoboost 4-cylinder lol

I was thinking Mainstream like the Bronco back about 5 years ago or even the Bronco Sport  

Maybe Raptor R and Dark Horse SC? Other than that probably not a whole lot. 

Well that answered my question on how it was supposed to pass crash tests.   So basically this thing is pickup in the same mold of as the Moke, which I see all the time in the Shore towns I live next to in NJ.
