Excluding performance, its dead for Ford, GM, CDJR, Subaru, Volvo, just one model for VW, Mazda, and Nissan could join them soon. Only Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia actually have multiple offerings that aren’t on the verge of cancellation. Even luxury brands like Lexus, Cadillac, Acura are down to singular sedans that are performance-focused, Infiniti doesn’t have one right now. Only the German luxury brands really are still offering a respectable range in that end of the market.

At AT&T several years ago we had a guy who planned to retire at the end of the year (with subsidized health care).  We had a voluntary surplus offer in June which came with 6 months pay (for him).  He decided not to take it and instead worked until Dec. 31st then retired.   Tried to explain that he was basically working for free at that point but he couldn't grasp the finances.  Just said he wasn't quite ready.   Maybe his wife didn't want him home with her.......

From the article:  We know it will be a Bronco pickup instead of Ranger. Ranger morphs into the F-100 at TTP.

Farley has stated that a Bronco hybrid is definitely coming but when is an unknown.  If we don't see it for 2027, then I'm betting it doesn't show up until the T6.3 platform (F-100, Bronco pickup, updated Bronco and Lincoln Bronco). T6.3 is scheduled to be rolled out in 2029 from TTP.  Seems like MAP would be around the same time. I'm also betting that the Bronco, Bronco pickup, Lincoln Bronco and F-100 will get Powerboost hybrids (not PHEVs) with Pro Power Onboard.

Chicago?  If it's CD6, you'd have everything on that platform at one plant.   If it has the capacity....

Flat Rock (with a remodel).  TTP.  Chicago?  It will be relatively low volume.

I hear you but they're full steam ahead with Nautilus and Corsair from China.  I would prefer to see it in Cuauatitlan.

Dead to companies that have better options to invest in.

Doubtful

I would expect the same interiors as Navigator and Aviator.
