Gary VasilashHostAnd I was, I swear, I was thinking two days ago, hmm, why doesn't Bronco have a pickup? I mean, you know, the Gladiator's out there making some traction.
And I've been writing about all sorts of Ford things like four-door Mustangs and hybrid Mustangs.
And it seems like there is no limit to where product development might take an automaker these days.
So in the Detroit news today, there was an article that was suggesting maybe the Ranger goes away to be replaced by, you think that's what
I wrote about that a couple of months ago when, you know, it was assumed the XT6 was going away and now, Oh, it's actually going to come back to Spring Hill, Tennessee.
There was some information this week about the XT5 that, uh, that Cadillac released some information about the plug-in hybrid version of the new XT5 in China, which made us think, oh, well, I mean, if the new XT5 is going to be built in Spring Hill, might that also be a plug-in hybrid? They're, of course, not going to let that cat out of the bag just yet.
But anyway, so, yeah, so many different ways that automakers are going, different directions.
