2016 Thunderbird

Post by sseebart »

I've seen this image floating around on the web, but never on any kind of "official" site. Not sure if it's just some photoshopped troll or something more real. Anyone else seen this?

While the idea of the badge being revived is terrific, the styling shown here is not all that impressive to me.

Ed Elzinga, the VTCI Vice President inquired about this with the boys over at Ford HQ. Sorry, no such car is planned.

Well, if it were planned and looked like that one, that's probably good. Now, a retro-style bird based on the 61-63 bullets--that would be cool.

That photo looks too much like a 2-door Fusion, probably a good thing Ford does not have this planned.
... and why would you need a "quad turbo" set up?

And how hard would it be to slap some wings on there and brand it a Thunderbird?

Ah, yes, no convertible option. ;-)
