Still looks like it’s missing headlights. What a lousy design.
Needs the diesel to reach more markets.
Not a fan of the odd looking front end, the deletion of the diesel which gave this an advantage over Lincoln or the insane prices these things go for. And for the fantasyland prices they command reliability needs to improve ton the powertrain and the electronics!
