2028 Ford Aerostar

2028 Ford Aerostar

What if Ford were to revive the Aerostar in 2028 on the Ford UEV Platform? Since Ford is planning a small electric van, this would be the perfect opportunity to revive the Aerostar name. It could use design hints from the original Aerostar, along the new Ford Trucks, including the upcoming Fathom concept.

What in tarnation is "Wuz Wuz and Bott Bott"?

Pretty much an Arabic (Egyptian) Veggietales Knock off with very similar eye designs, along with similar characters and plots.

Hypothetical 1998 and 2004 Jeep Wagoneer based on the Dodge Durango

I feel like it would've made more sense had Jeep reintroduced the Wagoneer in 1998 based on the Dodge Durango. It would've gave Chrysler corp a luxury SUV that probably would've sold better than the Aspen. Jeep had luxury SUV experience with the original Jeep Wagoneer, and it would've gave them a competitor to the Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade.

What if Dodge made a proper Ramcharger in 1998

Hypothetical 1998 Dodge Ramcharger and Ramcharger L to compete with the Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban. It would've been a proper version of the Ramcharger equipped with 4WD and it would ditch the 2-door version in order to become more of a mainstream SUV.

Hyundai Santa Cruz Fleet

Do you think the Hyundai Santa Cruz would've had a better chance of becoming more successful had they also made a Fleet version of it?

I feel like it would've been taken more seriously by real truck truck buyers. Especially offering a more affordable price point would've made it more competitive with the Ford Maverick. I personally don't think the Santa Cruz was a design failure, but rather a marketing failure. It was marketed as more of a lifestyle truck rather than a real truck, similar to the Avalanche. Therefore it almost felt like a toy rather than something you'd buy for a business.

What if Chrysler were to make a new 3 row crossover?

Chrysler is working towards releasing the new Arrow/ Arrow Cross and the Airflow as their first crossovers in many years. I feel like it would be natural for them to make a new D-segment 3 row crossover similar to what the Dodge Journey and original Chrysler Pacifica did. Since Chrysler is focused on the STLA One Platform, I feel like this could easily be done. While it could possibly risk cannibalizing the Pacifica minivan, I think it could work because Dodge sold the Dodge Journey and Grand Caravan simultaenously. What I'd hope for is quality improvements, differentiation from Jeep (keeping Chrysler urban and family focused), along with meaningful features for an affordable price point.

Modern Jeep Cherokee XJ

I combined the styling of the modern Jeep Cherokee with the boxy styling of the Jeep Cherokee XJ.

Since Jeep is going to be moving the Cherokee to the STLA One Platform in 2028, I think Jeep should use that opportunity to make a Cherokee similar to this.

What in tarnation is "Numb Chucks"?

A YTV show from the 2010s that is blatantly a SpongeBob cash in, also copying Angry Beaverz.

What if Chevrolet made a EV Silverado just by swapping the powertrain with an REV gas generator added?

I personally don't like the idea that Chevrolet made the Silverado EV by using a Unibody Skateboard EV platform. I feel like if Chevrolet ever makes a next generation EV Silverado, they should simply take the existing body-on-frame chassis and change it to an EV powertrain. Also, Chevrolet should make it a Range Extended EV by having a gas generator charge th battery when it is running low to get rid of range anxiety.

It would also be logical because the Ram 1500 REV and the Grand Wagoneer REEV will use this concept. Ford will make its next Lightning (or its successor) as a Range Extended Electric vehicle. Not to mention the Lightning was built on a modified and reinforced version of the current generation Ford F150 rather than a ground up EV platform. Therefore it would only make sense if Chevrolet would make a EREV Silverado with a chassis modified for EV batteries and a gas generator.

Do you think Ford could've saved Mercury if it wasn't just rebadges? (Read Description)

While many say that Ford killed Mercury because it just relied on badge engineering and just became a "More than Ford, Less Than Lincoln Brand", I feel like that was more of a fate.

I think that Ford could've actually made Mercury into more than just a tweener brand with the right vision. Ford is the legendary Mass Market brand, while Lincoln was and still is focused on luxury and prestige. Mercury could've possibly been reworked into an American sport luxury brand similar to BMW. They did have the ingredients, such as the Mercury Cougar. The Marauder too was a sleeper version of the Grand Marquis.

Do you think that Mercury could work today? Probably, but would be hard now considering the automotive market is very competitive. However, I think it would be possible because it could be a sport luxury brand that would work with the places that Lincoln wouldn't want to touch.

2027 Chevrolet Venture, GMC Sonoma, and Chevrolet Venture EV

If Chevrolet were to make a compact unibody pickup truck for USA, I'd say they should revive the Venture and Sonoma nameplate. These would be competitors to the Ford Maverick and upcoming Ram Rampage. Plus, maybe a compact pickup would be a good size for a EV pickup.

Disclaimer: I understand many probably wouldn't like it if Chevrolet revived the name Venture for a pickup truck knowing it was used for a minivan. But Chevrolet used Montana on a truck in South America too.

Lincoln Blackwood SUV based on Bronco or Everest?

I heard that Lincoln is working on a new Luxury version of the Ford Bronco. Not sure if Lincoln would revive the Blackwood name for that, but it would make sense for it. I wonder if Lincoln should make a luxury version of the Ford Bronco, or if they should make a luxury version of the Everest for USA?

While some may be for the idea of a Lincoln Bronco, I feel like the Everest has some potential to be a Lincoln too. Since Lincoln was always more of a refined vehicle for ride quality, the Everest could be more suitable for Lincoln's market. It would blend offroad capability for towing and family comfort. And a bonus is that the Everest has 3-row seating.

Chrysler 300M inspired by the Halcyon

Chrysler 300M recreated using the original car and the Halcyon Concept as reference. It could come back as a sleek Luxury Sedan positioned above a hypothetical 300 Revival.

While this 300M does look rather 2018, I feel like this design language would be mroe suitable anyhow than the current Kia-esque design language for a full size sedan.

Real Racing 3 isn't coming back, not by EA or any other developer (Read Description)

I've been seeing those posts throughout the past few months with people sharing screenshots of another developer offering pre-orders for Real Racing 3. It has titles like "So EA is bringing back Real Racing 3?", or "Real Racing 3 is Back!". No! Those are obviously scams. At this point it feels like those posts are just engagement bait.

Just stop already with those posts! Real Racing 3 isn't coming back, not by EA or other developers. Just Stop!
