Don't agree.

Minor changes, but they look good.   This is also worth noting........BlueCruise can now be used while towing a trailer....   2027 Ford F-150 Lineup Gets BlueCruise With Towing   Now, 2027 Ford F-150 lineup is getting a big-time BlueCruise upgrade that should help fuel that expansion further. That upgrade is the ability to tow with BlueCruise enabled, which is something that wasn't previously available in any Ford model. Now, 2027 Ford F-150 customers will gain that ability, which comes as 75 percent of owners use their trucks to tow all kinds of things around, according to the automaker. BlueCruise with towing opens up 130,000 miles of pre-qualified divided highways for hands-free driving with a trailer, or Blue Zones, as Ford calls them.   Better yet, every 2027 Ford F-150 trim level where BlueCruise is available gets this upgrade for the new model year - including the XLT, Tremor, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum, but not the base XL or the off-road-focused Raptor, it seems. Those that have an active BlueCruise subscription don't have to pay extra to use the new towing feature, either.     I guess Raptor still doesn't offer BlueCruise?  You'd think they'd be able to figure that out....

I like the new grilles.

Or maybe we've had it wrong this whole time!!     😛

I like the new grilles and this seems like a decent update for a generation ending.   The 3.0l should be interesting.

I assumed his proposal was meaning more something to slot in between the massive pricing gap between Mustang and GT, not as a replacement for GT.     Eh....I actually don't mind the idea of changing up Thunderbird's formula for a mid-engine model if they were determined to re-use the name.     I don't feel like the front grille/lights area go well with the rest of the body, but that's me.   It feels like some other model was grafted/stretched on.

Reports are saying they may build a Defender truck for Land Rover.....     Land Rover Defender Pickup May Be Built in America - Autoblog  

Might it go the other way? Make Stellantis NA-centric, shutter the Euro brands which are marginally profitable as the Chinese invasion inexorably eats up that market and concentrate on this market. Maybe it becomes Chrysler Corporation once again.

Thunderbird's legacy is that it created the "personal luxury coupe" genre....Sadly, that market is long gone so Thunderbird should best be left in the history books. There are names from Ford's storied past that deserve another look, Thunderbird is not one of them.
