I nearly bought a 2002Ti once....ended up with a C2 Alpina instead.
I still have a diecast model of the 2002....

How tall are you? Doesn't look like anyone over 6 foot tall would fit in that tuna can comfortably.
I sure as hell wouldn't fit in that lol.

interesting clarification. And I think this is the smart approach.

Ford confirmed on December 15 that it will end production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning as part of a broader strategic pivot. The move isn't just about a single model; it's part of a massive reassessment of Ford's EV ambitions. The company plans to scale back larger, fully battery-electric vehicles and shift investment toward hybrids, extended-range EVs, and smaller, cheaper EVs.Ford is taking a $19.5 billion charge on EV programs through 2027, reflecting billions in accumulated losses and canceled projects. Rather than an outright abandonment of EV tech, Ford plans to replace the pure BEV Lightning with an extended-range EV (EREV) — an electric truck that includes a gasoline-powered range extender to solve range and usability concerns. While this is a pivot, not a quit, it's radical because it undoes one of the crown jewels of Ford's EV push.

Hybrid models should have always been the harder push. Offer the full EV's to satisfy the "I hate kids in Congo and want them to work in the cobalt mines" crowd, then offer the hybrids for the rest of us that see the wisdom in flexibility.

Hybrid models should have always been the harder push.

I bought one here - "Mini SUV" - suzuki ignis. For the wifey, and it has a small battery under the passenger seat.
The miniest hybrid on the market to circumnavigate the BS Greenie world but it gives us 40 bucks a year road tax, and when the C40 tards implement restricted driving in town, this will be allowed to freely travel.
She first wanted another Abarth but i talked her out of it - there's so many speed bumps here and only 10% have visible paint markings, the Abarth would've had its exhaust ripped off within the month....

6'1" and owned a '69 2002 and '86 325es e30 at different times, both as daily drivers for four or five years each.  Now, having anyone with legs behind me in the back seat? That's a different question entirely.
