Trump also signed legislation this year that ended fuel economy penalties for automakers Based on that statement, what difference does this "roll back" make?   When the big shot in the White House, the Congress critters, and the agency bureaucrats do all of the following, THAT will be a (partial) victory for common sense. Repeal CAFE altogether Index the federal gasoline and diesel fuel excise tax to inflation Get rid of the ridiculously outdated DOT lighting regulations

2026 Ford Mondeo Pricing Will Raise American Eyebrows

Yes and that was Jac the Knife's objective.  I believe he was quoted as basically saying that..was not that Class 8 was a loser but it did not provide the same ROI as did class 1-5.  Which some would argue that for sure it was the right decision.  I would say if ROI was applied to every business line think of the one dimensional companies that would exist today? 

Sounds like Flex styling lol.

If it’s a safety issue federal law requires a recall.  Stupid that they don’t have a limit on number of vehicles for that, but it is what it is.

I'm assuming the Maverick SUV is the Bronco Sport sister product.   The Maverick is quite a bit longer then the Bronco Sport and the Escape. The Transit Connect is either 173.9 inches (SWB)/(LWB): Approximately 189.7 to 190 inches...since there apparently a Va n coming too.   I can see the Maverick based SUV being a Edge/Escape replacement that has Bronco type styling? It would avoid it being a commodity product that Ford has been railing about.   

At first glance, I'm still thinking this is the Maverick SUV.  Doesn't make sense for them to be adding CE1 SUV, next-gen Bronco Sport, Maverick CUV, AND another C2 hybrid only SUV.   Thinking about it more, I suppose it's possible, as Maverick SUV could be an Escape replacement, with this other C2 hybrid only model being an Edge replacement, but I'm skeptical.   The hang up is the "sister" phrasing - does that mean another Bronco product, or just closely related to BS without the name?

Here you go:   A new C2 Hybrid only SUV appears to have been approved but won’t arrive until 2029 for MY30. This will be a sister to the next Bronco Sport.
