A big shot here, a big shot there, who cares? It's obvious this is a political stunt

Notice who was at the White House for the announcement.  CEO Farley from Ford, CEO Antonio Filosa from Stellantis, and plant manager John Urbanic from GM.  Yes, a plant manager.  Guess Mary Barra had other plans.  

Trump also signed legislation this year that ended fuel economy penalties for automakers Based on that statement, what difference does this "roll back" make?   When the big shot in the White House, the Congress critters, and the agency bureaucrats do all of the following, THAT will be a (partial) victory for common sense. Repeal CAFE altogether Index the federal gasoline and diesel fuel excise tax to inflation Get rid of the ridiculously outdated DOT lighting regulations

2026 Ford Mondeo Pricing Will Raise American Eyebrows

Yes and that was Jac the Knife's objective.  I believe he was quoted as basically saying that..was not that Class 8 was a loser but it did not provide the same ROI as did class 1-5.  Which some would argue that for sure it was the right decision.  I would say if ROI was applied to every business line think of the one dimensional companies that would exist today? 

Sounds like Flex styling lol.

If it’s a safety issue federal law requires a recall.  Stupid that they don’t have a limit on number of vehicles for that, but it is what it is.

I'm assuming the Maverick SUV is the Bronco Sport sister product.   The Maverick is quite a bit longer then the Bronco Sport and the Escape. The Transit Connect is either 173.9 inches (SWB)/(LWB): Approximately 189.7 to 190 inches...since there apparently a Va n coming too.   I can see the Maverick based SUV being a Edge/Escape replacement that has Bronco type styling? It would avoid it being a commodity product that Ford has been railing about.
