If management and marketing wanted you to see it by now, you would have. It's very, VERY deliberate why you haven't. Especially how the current S550 Mustang even had its prod. front end caught with camo on a S197 body mule, in November 2012 (A Pillar aft). About 1-2 weeks before design freeze...

Certainly. I just hope it clears up anything too murky and explains a little.

Yes, this is accurate. There seriously should be a laugh button next to "like".:crackup: It is typical C&D. 6 years ago in the autumn of 2013, very similar BS occurred with the S550 after media were shown the vehicle behind closed doors and a lot of people foolishly took the bait from C&D...

Thank you both. I'm so sick of pointing this out all the time and can't be bothered anymore, as all of us have pitched in to clear up misunderstandings. I have documentation from mid-2016, which lists a U725 July 2020 Job 1 date. Only 5 months and 6 days in delays. 5 months and 1 week is...

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Turnaround time to develop a new product makes all the difference, if your reference point is shown well before market introduction. I'm sorry, but this isn't accurate. The S550 program began and finished under J Mays, while GT started under Mays...

Yep, they tried it. Have to give it to the set responsible for designing sheathing/camouflage lol. Yes, I've always thought it looked really good the CX430, even if I wouldn't choose it over the U725. It was once codenamed Generation Y CUV, in early development. Toyota is targetting this segment...

Yes, all correct. The P702 F-150 units were sent out as soon as they were ready to go. This got held on a very tight leash instead. GT doesn't even compare regarding prototyping (unveiled 23 months early). Recall the same story with the then all new 2011 Focus, which had no spy shots in 2009...

And to correct myself, signing off of launch will be the final stage before PPs are built next summer. Engineering completion is a different stage.

Nice rendering by C&D (the only semi-accurate attempt), even though some final details are still missing. Makes some of the complaints laughable, considering what they've seen is good enough for a Renegade competitor, let alone the the much much better U725.

Expedition U553 is due for MCA for MY 2022 currently, but as we know this is FCA Jeep WL

Yep and 3/4 view. It's been around awhile, but I never mentioned it. Noticed no one else caught it though for weird reasons.

I said a few times, that this was never debuting this year in any form. Stupid TFL just run with anything. What I didn't know 9 months ago, was the deliberate intention to withhold some stages of prototyping from the public. As soon as P702 was ready, it was put out for runs cameras or not...

The weird Everest test vehicles you were seeing publicly in 2017-18, were "X" prototypes. https://www.bronco6g.com/first-ford-bronco-mule-spot These were pre-development U725 test vehicles. The M1s/M2s you were seeing much of 2019, are M1s with slapped together top hats on new T6, which...

I'm quite surprised, no one noticed this the past year.

I really don't understand the point of these kinds of threads. This is one of the best executed products in Ford modern history (21st century) as it stands right now. Everything is being done correctly, as can be done. Some folks really need to get a grip and stop whining about nothing at the...

Depending on how you phrase it, this is a very accurate claim. The Bronco insignia and B R O N C O in lettering will be on these vehicles in very visible places. Such as grilles, steering wheel airbag covers, dash, and etc.

Yes, similar to something I mentioned awhile back and another reason as well. Any automaker worth their salt, needs 17 months between design freeze and Job 1 at the very worst (+/-2 years is ideal). Before design freeze, you still need to design your own copycat final proposal to engineer, so...

People are going to be very pissed about the reality of why you keep just seeing "M" mules running about, versus the real McCoy VP1s. It's very strategic for internal reasons, partly based on timing. The first P702s were built April 22, but by May they were public. This though, was kept closer...

Certainly Pacific Northwest. It's a mixed bag honestly, because those compact CX430 (C2 offroader) spy shots were "staged". It's all very deliberate, with everything.

Firmed up? I'm not sure what you're referring to, but if that is concerning the final design, you'd be very inaccurate. It's frozen, meaning 90-95% of it is designed, if not 99%. No more styling changes, that can slow scheduling and cost tens of millions to refine. Whether or not you see spy...
