Concept? I heard Ranger is coming first and is expected to be revealed in Detroit too. Anything on top of the 2018 and 1968 Bullitt cars is just bonus to me.

This picture, that looks like it has some details in the middle of the hood was posted on the 2019 GT500 thread. It was released somewhere as a teaser i believe. Looks like a GT350 or GT500 to me.

Interesting. Definitely looks too aggressive for a Bullitt. That picture isn't official those, I was thinking of something more polished. For example, here's Hyundai's teaser for the 2019 Veloster Turbo being shown in Detroit:This picture, that looks like it has some details in the middle of the hood was posted on the 2019 GT500 thread.

Bronco maybe because they just said that they are showing the Ranger Raptor on February 7, 2018 in Bangkok
which is the same time as media previews for the Chicago Auto Show

Interesting, well like the article says, everyone is still expecting the normal Ranger to debut in Detroit, and revealing the Raptor version a month later in Chicago makes sense. Ford has announced the Bronco will be a 2020 model which is why I don't think anyone is expecting it. But you seem to have some connections so maybe the plans changed? :shrug:

What chassis would they use? Would they dare build a front drive T-Bird? A two seat AWD built on a focus chassis might be pretty cool though? There you go, two seat convertible Thunderbird, with Focus ST drive train would be RAD!
Ford, please feel free to use this idea.

The retro lover in me would like to see a new Thunderbird, but with coupe sales down everywhere, I don't see it ever happening. The only new coupe I could potentially see coming to market would be a Lincoln version of the Mustang, since all the luxury car companies it competes with have coupes and Lincoln doesn't. Would be much easier to execute as well since the S650 is happening on it's own regardless.

I would have thought the Lincoln sports coupe be a no-brainer. Take the Mustang chassis and move the cabin back a bit, rack the windscreen a little more, remove the back seat, take some weight out and end up with an affordable DB9 type of vehicle. Plop in a down-sized Coyote, something like 4.2L, and EcoBoost it, and wow, what a monster. :cheers:
There, we did it again. I should be working for Ford, in some kind of think tank. Again, Ford please feel free to use this idea too!

A Lincoln sport coupe would be cool but that might be a tough sell. I think ford is wise to let that go.
The costs involved with modifying the chassis/unibody to differentiate it from the mustang and adding all the weight
of premium materials and sound deadening materials would make it even more of an overweight situation than what
it already is. With all that said and done would it even be a contender for the BMW M4, Infiniti Q60S, Jaguar F-Type,
MB AMG GT or Lexus RC or LC (A lot of product overlap on Lexus's part there). Personally, I would go for the F-Type.
