Still doesn’t explain how you’re doing so much worse than me. I treat every grocery run like a qualifying lap and manage 7mpg more.

Wow that's shockingly low to me. My Mustang's 2.3L gets 22mpg. Manual transmission and 3.55 gears, mostly city miles, I usually drive in sport mode and don't spare the throttle. When I do take long highway trips, I usually reset the Trip 2 counter and can easily get 27-28mpg. (When it was new...

Everything we're seeing is pre-production, full stop. Even if these designs we're seeing are very close to what rolls off the line next spring, these are still prototypes or mockups at best, by definition. With COVID pushing the typical summer shutdown to back late August, I wouldn't be...

"Lock the Dana axles." YESSS.

The narrator of the "Built Wild" teaser is Bryan Cranston, right?

Cheers, y'all.

Who's taking bets on whether or not the actual page on ford's website stays up? Here's hoping they added some server capacity.

Even though I'm probably going to have to wait for model year 2022, I'm super hyped for this.

"*CGI image. Pre-production model shown." Not to mention that it's been run through a handful of designers and photo editors tweaking it, and compressed all to hell by Instagram's web servers.

That's a photo of the Bronco Sport, doesn't have the tie downs.

Yeah I think this is a 4-door. Looks like the passenger side rear door, which is why the opening looks so short. The part on the right-hand side of the frame is where the front of the door becomes vertical, and the shadow on the left of the frame is the shadow of the passenger side rear tire.

It's just a reference to their "Built Wild" tagline for the Bronco, which is an extension of "Built Ford Tough". Pericak speaks a little about it in this interview:

Do we have reliable numbers on Curb and GVWR?

I've got my super computer trying to crack the code, but it won't finish processing until this coming Monday at about 8:00pm. I'll post the results then.

"Computer enhanced images of vehicles shown. Pre-production models."

Allow me to provide everyone a time machine back to the 2015 Mustang redesign discussions: "They better not put a Ford logo on it, if there's a blue oval anywhere in site it's not a Mustang!!!!"

This a pretty typical Instagram marketing technique. It's called a 9square or a 9-Tile.

A few things: 1. This is almost certainly all foley work. None of it was recorded in conjunction with the video and we don't know how much manipulation is being done in post production. 2. We don't know for sure that any of this audio was even recorded from anything close to a production...

Who knows what processing has been done to the images before they were posted. But I'm looking at those photos on a DCI-P3 monitor and it's basically white in those photos. Here's hoping that Carbonized Gray Metallic is close to the old Magnetic paint.

Because they've almost certainly already invested a huge amount of money into marketing and an announcement; they're not going to throw that away because few car nerds on some web forums have seen some leaked photos. (Just speaking from experience, it's my line of work.)
