I respectfully disagree. I think the Rivian r1t is gorgeous. Especially from a front 3/4s angle. I'm not a huge fan of many 30s to 50s cars. There are exceptions of course, but too many have the bulbous inverted bathtub shape to them imo.
We got some iconic 50s cars like the t-bird, first gen...
Agreed. Plus the hatch I showed looks cool. Sounds like making these affordable EVs cool looking is important to them.
Farley said in the past they would be emotional products, and that they weren't gonna look like toasters on wheels. So that has me excited.
Old vid, but I liked seeing their reaction to the design. It's possible they were told to fake it, but that seemed pretty genuine.
I'm also really looking forward to whatever that car is in the background. New escort hopefully with rally inspiration.
Pretty close, I've been told the blue rendering is the most accurate so far. The silver rendering shows the shorter hood well, but it angles down which that rendering doesn't.
People who saw it said it looked more like something you'd see from Kia or Hyundai. Which isn't a bad thing considering those brands have been knocking it out of the park with a lot of their latest designs.
I understand why they didn't, but part of me wishes they had gone with the bolder coupe ute look of that sketch. Anyone one the Blue oval forums knows I want Ford to make a coupe styled ute. But I can admit, it would be a more niche product than something that looked more conventional.
There's strong speculation that Ford is teasing the mid-gate in the vid they used to reveal the fathom name. Ford employees have said the vid has a lot of Easter eggs. You can see long objects in the bed like surfboards and lumber that seem to be hinting at said midgate.
This is the front of the fathom. Body color front with no light bar or fake grille. You can see a portion of how the front and hood is angling up away from the front fascia as it runs backwards.
I think when he says it's bigger, he's saying the interior space is bigger than a mav, not that the overall truck is bigger. Because we know the fathom is gonna have a shorter hood with a larger cab than mav.
I think fathom is smaller than maverick. But has more interior space. We've seen the real world mules, it looks about the same length as mav, but lower, more like a ute.
So smaller, but more space.
Agreed. I genuinely hope Ford keeps the color around for a long time, it's just a really great hue. Kinda like some other colors like grabber blue have stuck around for awhile.
