Since the last minute delay/cancellation of GE2, a lot of the upgrades planned for Mach E have changed
a bit as Ford scrambles to find the best fit of motors batteries and controllers to keep prices under control.
Mach E having a coupe twin now seems so hard because it’s been too long (2018 when EMax changed)
but Ford was lucky that Mach E was seen as a competitor to Tesla Y but BEV interest is a bit subdued ATM
Yes, the BYD Sealion 6 is a good package which means that anything seen as less
value will struggle. I think Territory would work in Australia but understand that it
would be fighting against established competition as well as newer Chinese brands.
Ford needs a hybrid utility to go up against RAV4 which is romping away with sales.
True, but it's not working. If it's not gonna work as an edge replacement, I just say lean even harder into the idea of a muscle car utility. Believe it or not, a lot of mustang owners kinda like how the mach-e looks, they just don't believe it should wear the mustang pony. Making it even more muscle car like would win some of those people over imo. I'd love a sharper, meaner design with more muscular surfacing.
I'd love a mach-e front end with this lighting, and a less bulbous looking grille cutout.
it’s a patent rendering. So sure, we don’t get the full story of actual shadows, look, etc, we get the basic idea of it.
i agree that I’ve never really been a fan of the original FJ’s design either, but they could’ve done better.
also, while I like the current Bronco better, I always liked that 2003 concept and actually still think it looks pretty good.
agreed. The rest is maybe ok/could look better in real life/real photos, but that c-pillar is too weighty.
ive come to like the new Land Cruiser/GX design, so they can do something good looking, but this is a big miss
I think Ford targeted the markets that needed more affordable models right away.
In the Philippines (one of the Territory's strong markets) the PHEV BYD Sealion 6 is gaining market share and Ford's Territory sales are down. Coincidence? They have similar pricing. Electrified vs traditional ICE.
