Hopefully it won't weigh 9,000 pounds like the current Hummer EV.

I really hope they never get rid of this feature it's a nice backup to have.

The issue is that external  headwinds are going to drive up prices, it’s maddening to Ford and other manufacturers but seems highly likely that input costs will rise significantly. That’s why I take the $30,000 starting price as a wish rather than believing it is a solid anchor. I’m thinking that the vehicles might be on a  lease with conditional hand back to Ford so it can control the narrative on lease payments and hand back prices….just a guess and could be way wrong as thinking affordability is highly linked to monthly payments.

Agree, the grille insert completes the front. Feedback to me is that lower trims look lazy but worse, that painted space is prone to stone chipping in places like Australia..

The GT looks great. I’ve increasingly grown to dislike the front without the sport appearance package. GT has it by default but the whole lineup should.

Yea, I like that idea. Maybe a shrunken version of the current Hummer EV SUV, but with removable roof. GM took the shrink down approach with the Hummer H3 20 years ago.  

I always thought it was a play on G-M...

Our MME GTPE is awesome!  We love it!

You could be right, although the wiggle room in affordable + I can’t predict trim mix is why I went to ATP.   What they have inched around on for price makes me think MSRP of base trim will be like $32,500. I don’t see it being higher than $35,000 (the EV Equinox is already like $34,950 or something before incentives). I do think the MSRP of the Maverick probably limits how high they could put the skunk truck; if you could consistently get the Maverick for cheaper with competitive features why would anybody except Tesla conquests buy the skunk truck?

Yep, this is confounding because they know the profit is in a small battery assisting a gasoline based vehicle. PHEVs are not really appealing to US buyers but the hybrid with a 1.1 Kwhr battery is an easy sell to someone in a heavier vehicle than can see the improvement of fuel economy in surface roads, stop/start driving or even at 40 to 50 mph with a bit of variable speed where regen adds efficiency.
