The folks wagon! Could not resist.๐Ÿ˜‚

On a serious note if youโ€™re going to do a retro #EV this is how to do it. True to the original spirit and form creating an emotional connection with new generations. Sticking a retro badge on an EV does not work. Lots of unsold examples #vw

Ford to cut 800 UK jobs as part of major European restructure | Autocar The cuts will be made by the end of 2027, creating what Ford calls a โ€œmore cost-competitive structureโ€
