If they make it too expensive, some/many will go with the Defender, which will be worth a lot more ten - twenty years down the road when it's re-sale time.

So Idris Elba was at the Mach E reveal. And remeber those desert photos with the brinco sign and the cop cars. Wouldnt it be cool if the reveal was a short film? Im thinking Idris Elba is wrongfully accused and him and maybe Dennis Leary, who is the good cop in town, are running from the modern equivilent of Dirty Lyle from Convoy. The do a desrt version of an OJ style chase. Lots of cop cars go down(like a smokey and the bandit 2 amount of cars) but eventually they get surrounded. Then Idris and Leary or who ever do a back to back fight taking out about 20 of the dirty cops(cause ya know hes black superman). After the fight they go back to the Bronco, put on their masks, fold the top back, and throw the doors in the back and drive off a canyon rim down a gnarly trail leading to a bunch of people social distance partying down by a river at the bottom.

Gives everybody what the want. And shows us how the top and doors work.
Was just thinking an OJ style chase would be a really bad optic right now.

Early July makes sense. Firstly, a July 4th-ish reveal would be epic, but also an early July reveal would allow for a few weeks from now to prepare the virtual reveal (logistics, filming, graphics, voiceovers, et cetera).
This makes sense. July (ugh) allows for putting together their reveal in this 'new' format. It also makes it more 'problem proof' so if there is another shut-down or zombies start attacking or Russia invades or the meteor strike or the super-volcano erupts, they have the option to still press forward.

Fingers crossed first week of July is the day!

We already know it won't be SFA...Can't think of too many things that would warrant full-on REEEEEEEE...

Let's see...
-Pushed to 2022
-Only 4 banger, not even a V6
-4 banger or hybrid
-No rear locker, only electronic traction like Toyota
-AWD, not 4WD
-bespoke suspension that cannot be lifted without great cost
-No full off-road variant

I'll think of some more later lol
They could delay the full up offroad features.

Ask Doug DeMuro about Land Rover and see if you want one that's 10 years old.

True that, but look at the resale value for an old Defender, you can buy a new wrangler for that price.
Dude... Those old defenders are pretty rare and have that badass image, similar to the early bronco or early FJs. The new one is just another over complicated Urban Rover.

As for this number 37 talk, gotta be hints towards the 37 inch tires on the "warthog" thing....

:ROFLMAO:
I mean this is a generalization... Iā€™ve got friends that are broke as fuck and they have $20k rock crawler jeeps. If you allocate your money correctly and save anything is possible. For better or worse most ā€˜muricans ainā€™t good at saving though.
Did they buy them at $20K, or build them over time from used $12K ones?

This is definitely the most plausible reason for him leaving. Either someone at Ford told him to get off or he's just being careful now that the reveal is so close. People have been complaining on here for as long as I've been lurking around. I doubt he's leaving now because people are complaining. I'm sure he'll still be lurking around here watching down on us.
Question.....did he take the ball?

In respect to the whole timing issue, one of the things I recall about March & the whole Covid interruption...is the plant tooling was just about to commence. Anyone know if that ever moved forward???
