We'll have to wait and see what happens this time, but go back and look at history. They were indeed cross-shopping. That was exactly what forced the Ranger out of the American market several years ago.....cross-shoppers found out that, with the F-150, they could get a lot more truck for not a lot more money. Hopefully, regardless of the interior, the fact that today's Ranger is larger and more substantial than the last one will help, though it will still face stiff competition from the Colorado/Canyon and Tacoma.

It's a carryover from racing. It's in many performance vehicles. This is to be seen as a desert racing vehicle, like the F-150 Raptor.

I'm not trying to be argumentative.....I just don't see why it's needed even in racing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Fine, but what use is it, even in racing? Anyone with a decent set of eyes and even the most rudimentary sense of geometry can instantly see where the center of the wheel is, from the spokes. Perhaps a couple very few exceptions might be some of the single-spoke steering wheels that 80s-vintage Mitsubushis and 50s/60s Citroens used to have.

The US execs are talking about it: http://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-...u-s-exec-says/
it looks good. much more aggressive than than a regular ranger. i wonder if the US market will get the 3.5L ecoboost and if the F150 raptor will get back its v8?

So just what do you mean by that term? American-badged vehicles have a lot of different interiors..it's difficult to lump them altogether. And, of course, with today's truly global auto industry, the terms "American", European", "Japanese" and "Korean" generally mean little. That's why, by law, you have parts-content stickers on new cars, with countries-of-origin for major components such as engine and transmission.
Anyhow, as far as I'm concerned, here is a so-called "American" interior that is difficult to fault....the Lincoln Continental. The new Navigator's is also very impressive.

However, I do agree the new Lincolns has sharp interior

I don't know if I agree better. I think better perceived. I don't particularly like American interiors, but combined there are a lot of American brand cars sold every year so they must be doing things right or within their target segment,
