Issues I see:   engine bay packaging - they'd have to make sure everything fits crash testing emissions/fuel economy (less of an issue here given the topic)   What else am I missing?

Aka we required foreign brands to partner with our companies, now we're making you pay again for this stuff lol.

You mean like Bronco and Bronco Sport?  That would never work…..😎 

This is noticeably better looking to me than the Bronco sport, which is likely helped by the apparent size increase.  I could see how this could fit in the current NA bronco lineup, considering it doesn’t necessarily overlap with the other models. It seems to have a more clean, premium look to it.   It’s really getting more irritating and old that China receives more compelling vehicles/options than the NA market. I have a very difficult time understanding this, since it’s an American company.  

IMO it would take too long to get a  V8 Bronco out with the threat of CAFE snapping back in 2030 or so. 

Would make a good Edge replacement 😛  

I really like this ev and could see myself buying it. Really shows you what an enlarged bronco sport could look like. 

It could be a case of too little too late... Ford Europe will not have much of a car business to save after Kuga and Focus end production without replacement. It will take at least 3 years of fast track development to bring them back but knowing Ford, it maybe 5 years.    Maybe Ford should consider building the Bronco Sport or Territory in Valencia while they work on the new Kuga and Focus which should have never been killed. Getting rid of Mondeo and Galaxy, and C-Max are completely rational decisions... large sedan and vans are going away in Europe in favor of CUVs. But to get rid of products that were in segments that are the largest (B and C hatchback) and still growing (compact CUV) never made any sense. 

I really like this aerodynamic pass though on the hood, very similar to what the charger EV has. As brands keep pushing to make vehicles more areo efficient, adding this allows them to improve efficiency, while retaining the more upright design a lot of people like.    I really hope this sort of feature makes its way to other designs like our full sized bronco, trucks, and even the mustang. 

You can't revive the car business with the tiny volume Ford is doing in Europe now. Ford Europe is on an island now without the benefit of sharing anything with China or North America. Farley crippled the business so badly I don't know how he can build it back up.   Anyway, just another case of Ford changing strategy every 5 minutes... They would have been so far ahead if Europe didn't split off from the GE and CE programs to use VW MEB. And it's a real folly to not continue with new gen Focus and Kuga on C2 which would be relatively cheap investment since it will just be new tophats - there is absolutely no reason to get rid of C2 after only 1 generation.
