I've just reserved one to go with my upcoming Bronco

Just waiting to see if my Bronco order gets a 2021 build date.

On motor week, they talked about it a while ago. Ford is just waiting for the economy to improve

Elon is probably reaching for the Prozac as we speak.

Good thread, Jill. .......earlier, I had forgotten that Ford was going to take the wraps off the new Lighting today.

Impressive features, and an Asian-American woman Chief Engineer to boot!

I still see Jim Farley as a deep down Toyota guy. I had a chance to meet and chat with him when he became Lexus GVP and GM for a short time. This was during the launch of Lexus IS F. Then he jumped shipped to Ford shortly thereafter.
