ExplorerDude said it could be compact, midsize or full size.  Make of that what you will......

No but single folks and folks without kids who would have bought a non hybrid Escape would cross shop it or a Maverick.  They know it's not a full replacement.

Don't shoot the messanger. 😎  Besides I could be totally wrong.

There have been a lot of electronic gremlins but nothing catastrophic.  The benefits outweigh any negatives.   Get the hybrid.

To avoid Ford's rampant decontenting of its line, I'm now shopping Lincoln products.  I drove the Nautilus and, while it's not sports car, it was at least very quiet and comfortable. The 24-spkr Revel stereo sounded nice, too. Has anyone had much experience with the Chinese-made Nautilus? Thoughts? 

That looks like a Prius limo.

So is Ford also abandoing the plug-in hybrid technology from the Escape while shepherding sheeple to the Bronco Sport?    Candidly, my wife drives a plug-in Escape and I don't see her cross-shopping the "soft-roader" BS--especially with the 3-banger. 

You've posted this image before.  It's not different enough from Mach E to warrant much thought......it's basically the Mach E with a slight stretch of the image.

Reports were that it reminded people of the '97-03 "aero" F-150, and that tarped model fits that description.     I'd be surprised if they debuted something.......there'd be more fanfare about "debut of Ford's new CE1 vehicle!!"  This seems like more under the skin discussion of the platform, maybe motors/battery info, etc.     They do look to at least have an interesting design.   I just feel like they look off, but we're used to seeing 5-spoke derivatives on just about everything.

The 2029 timeline roughly aligns with the next-gen Bronco.....
