Exactly, a very special kind of user. Not to play favorites anyone, sorry! Like JohnnyGMachine and Chazcron of yore, quite special as this is a MAJOR break! And I am happy it has been mostly confined to here for now, as I don't want Jem to find trouble with FMC. Hmm, like the Bronco, it the...

I don't agree with people hating on something out the gate for the sake of it. I deemed it very silly and irrational most of the '15 complaints back in late 2013, as Ford created a very handsome vehicle for the price point. It was obvious what it looked like when this appeared 3 1/2 months...

Absolute fluff, as they keep stupidly referring to an "all new" SUV platform (CD6). Damn idiots lol. How do they not get it by this point, as CD6 has been known to be thrown out the window since 2018? Smh

Hmm...don't know about that for me at least. With S550, I knew in 2012 I was being fed a bunch of BS with weak renderings, but by early 2013, the few guys doing it justice, had me knowing what I wanted. I loved the S197 as a badass, modernized retromobile, enhanced with annual updates, but I...

Oh no LOL, this is what I look out for. Posters like Jem, doing drive-by posts. Good looking out for us, but I've seen this pattern of spilling before and it's more than often legit. Finally someone else chimes in, as my ability to describe what I saw 1.5 years ago sucks, as I got only a brief...

Styling was finished nearly 2 years ago and prototypes have been built for months at AP. That is not the case at all. Like many recent models, it will make its photography debut during the second round of winter testing, which will be this winter. It will launch right before the USDM Ranger.

And of course stupid CarBuzz, one of the dumbest and most unoriginal sites ever. No mention of M7G. https://carbuzz.com/news/surprise-next-ford-mustang-coming-with-two-hybrid-engines

Wow Jarstang, thanks LOL. I keep trying to find whatever I can on this, as I want to see the next chapter in the V8 Mustang. Ford promised a new Mustang sooner and because of Hackett, we had to wait a bit longer. Now that we're getting closer, I am curious as to what I should expect ultimately...

It is not on CD6. This has been said numerous times since 2019, so it's not really fair to discount the perspectives of those of us who have already pointed this out long ago. It's no longer rumor mill and just BSing. It's been confirmed a number of times, by several insiders, who are not gonna...

This I just found! Ford was or is still developing TWO hybrid powertrains for the S650! https://it.linkedin.com/in/pedro-maradei-00484914

Thanks, I wasn't finished LOL! Had to edit some things lol. I believe this, especially under the two Jims, being pissed at how the Ranger and Bronco got leaked. What I saw? Engineer working on a fully rendered CAD or something like it. Looked similar to that Chinese concept sculpture and...

Oh, we definitely don't want more mules at this point. I want full fledged prototypes out and about, that confirm what I saw for me, once and for all. No thank you. The interior is getting tired and I want to see improvements after 8 years, as originally promised by Bill Ford and Mulally in...

To correct myself, S650 is definitely not apples to apples in terms of the transition from S197 to S550. S550 was virtually an all new car and I apologize if I tried to say different before. I find it so annoying how outside of Ford, the automotive industry and intelligence poorly identify the...

I honestly don’t know what the hell is going on with these delays. My S650 contact no longer works for Ford, my other contact is not close enough to the program, and Ford is being ridiculously tight lipped, as if it no longer even exists. I am concerned how the chief engineer is no longer on it...

The key thing here is making a product that is aspirational and not so much ultra luxurious like an S-Class or a Lexus. Ford gave it their all with One Ford for the outgoing Fusion, leaving its humble Mazda roots behind and borrowing from the more upscale Mondeo. However it just didn’t work as...

Of course. I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out what’s going on. There is a recurring pattern with Covid model launches of Ford’s biggest nameplates. Two of them so far have tallied up at three years from final appearance approval to showroom. looks like Ford was trying to shorten that...

On the sister forum, I provided this info for S550: 2021MY Ordering Close - 2021/10/1 2021MY EOP - 2021/12/23 2022MY Ordering Opens- 2021/10/11 2022MY SOP. - 2022/01/03 2022MY Showroom Arrival- February Usually they try to...

According to the Linkedin profile of an S650 program engineering sourcing analyst, she claims that the S650 is the first Ford model program to use Ford's new cloud technology for development called Pilot Arriba. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing, in terms of changing too much for the...

Sounds about right within 10 years.

I am really sorry, but it is clear to me that I missed something and the individual named above, left his post 2 months before this submission I made. He opened up his own business and no longer works for Ford. My biggest apologies to misleading anyone here. Don't know who his replacement is...
