Normally I would say it’s a bad idea. I’m all for sharing hard points and interior elements, but the front/rear should look distinct, especially since the aero look might be a hard sell. With that said, supposedly there are a lot of ex Tesla workers in the skunkworks and all the teslas look the same, so I’m guessing all of these vehicles will too.

But I think it's neat. Something that goes way beyond the sort of vehicles we usually see with Aston.    Would make for a pretty cool luxury offroader if they brought a toned down one into production. 

It had Goggle Maps installed!

Yeah, the SUV is probably going to look like the truck just without the bed. It would be cool if they made it like a more swept back version of the 2nd gen Escape, which should be possible.

Gee, If you add up the missteps involving the Pinto, PAG,  Explorer/Firestone, EV's and the recalls, to name a few, I think a lot of us could have made better decisions!

Believe it or not, yesterday was National AI day.  Ford came up with this nifty AI video showcasing the 1964 Aurora.  Worth a look.   https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articles/2026/1964-ford-aurora-concept-vehicle-debut-reimagined

Yeap, I remember having to buy one of those that disappeared,,,,,,   HRG

Gary Gnu? And if you get that reference, be sure to schedule your next colonoscopy. 😄   Heard the "fire up the engine" video yesterday. Sounds like a proper race engine, we'll see what comes of the rest of the car now!

The business neighbor across from the place I work at runs a landscaping company and he just recently got a new Isuzu crew cab LCF with one of the big bed things (not a dump bed just the tall sides). Never thought about a Transit cab for that type of application.....could be an interesting offering.

This could be an interesting alternative to the LCF style trucks used for landscaping and residential construction. We see a lot of the Chevrolet (I think) and Isuzu crew cab LCF running around here. Usually with dump beds. Ford has been out of this market for close to 20 years.
