https://fordauthority.com/2025/12/chinas-ford-bronco-ev-erev-headed-to-australia/   according to CarExpert, Australia is set to get the brand new Ford Bronco "New Energy" model sold in China, which is offered with both all-electric and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrains. That SUV just entered production at the JMC-Ford joint venture plant in China this month, and had previously only been confirmed for that market. Now, it will become the first Bronco model of any kind to be sold in Australia since the 1980s - as well as Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East.

Looks like a good product.  I think it would do ok here, though there'd be a fair amount of overlap.

That's exactly it.  The order guide shows expected percentages of each trim level.

Could they have meant that all Platinum Plus orders are 4% of the total F350 build? Just speculating here, but I would guess that 4% of only Platinum Plus orders would be a very small number, perhaps only several hundred.

2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E Drops Front Seatback Map Pockets   According to sources familiar with the matter, the front seatback map pockets have been stricken from all 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E trims. For the 2025 model year, the map pockets - which are affixed to the back of the front row seats - were standard on all trims. Now, though, they're no longer available at all, even as an optional extra.

Don't forget all the unsecured creditors that were royally screwed over in the bankruptcy - except for the UAW.   Total Claims: The primary unsecured creditor group, composed largely of mutual funds, pension funds, and retail investors who held GM's unsecured bonds, was owed close to $28 billion. Initial Recovery: In the initial bankruptcy plan, these unsecured creditors exchanged their debt for 10% of the stock in "new" GM and warrants to purchase additional equity. Percentage Recovery: The total value of their recovery (stock and warrants) was initially valued at approximately 22% of their claims based on GM's stock price after the initial distribution. This means they lost roughly 78% of their investment, or over $21 billion in total.

They repaid the loans that the US Government lent them, but the USG lost about 11 Billon in investments that it didn't recover    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-gm-treasury/u-s-government-says-it-lost-11-2-billion-on-gm-bailout-idUSBREA3T0MR20140430/

When GM ran into bankruptcy, they sat and waited for the government to bail them out, that $10 billion was never repaid to the government….   In contrast, Ford  paid for its own restructuring and only ask for and received low interest loans from DOE which were repaid with interest.

I’m afraid you have it backwards, Bara from GM and Bill Ford both Lobbied heavily for Electric vehicle tax credits to give them a chance against Tesla.   Nothing about that was socialism, it was pure corporate greed to use someone else’s money to  pay for the all electric dream……    

Not to mention if a company fucks up badly enough, it will go out of business, without any support or go through a major reorg like GM did. Having them go bankrupt at that very moment would have poured fire on unemployment and royally screwed the economy.
