It says: "Buyers who stick with the hybrid drivetrain can order all-wheel-drive as a no-cost option, which suggests that front-wheel-drive sales will peter out."
But the hybrid with AWD costs more than the hybrid with FWD, so WTF are they talking about?

Yes! I thought the blue on the spy photos looked a lot more Velocity than Atlas. The AWD Hybrid, Bigger screens, Wireless Android Auto, Intelligent Access standard on XLT, standard Lane keep aid (IDK if this is really worth much), tow hitch standard on XLT all make this a lot harder not to buy...
Okay, that's probably what they're calling dark blue in the listing now. How do you like it? Is it kind of padded and cushioned like the premium stock steering wheel leather? I remember when test drove one with the premium steering wheel and the XL that was one of the bigger things that I noticed.
I actually just pulled the trigger on a set of black closed ended ones on eBay. I didn't think I'd like the look open ended ones from my XL wheels. I also live somewhere with tons of salt on the roads in the winter and don't want the threads getting rusty. I'll probably get a set of winter...
Just to share with anyone that may be reading this thread later. I weighed my Bronco Sport Big Bend wheels and tires (same ones OP has) and they were about 45lbs. That corresponds with 21.2 lbs the rim is supposed to weigh and the 24lbs the CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX tire is supposed to...
NO to all the buttons/switches/knobs moving onto the screen. I know it's cheaper to make that way, but people HATE it. I want to just adjust that stuff with muscle memory and feel, not always have to look down for where it is.
As for the grill, I wouldn't be certain that this is the real...
I didn't think I liked that style wheel, but dang it looks good on the Atlas Blue. It just jumped to my 2nd favorite Bronco Sport wheel. Hoping I can track some down in the next month or so before I get my Atlas Blue XL. Been hard to find any Bronco Sport or Maverick take-offs I like in Iowa.
They directly control supply though. The intentionally keep them Maverick relatively scarce because they don't want to sell it for less than MSRP. They're finally catching up with demands now because they're about to release the 2025 changes and they don't want people to cancel their 2024 orders...
I like the claw decal better. I like that it's subtle. I'm getting an XL soon so I've been looking at aftermarket wheels. A lot of the options I like are black so I'm thinking black on blue on black could look good together. Though there is one with a Bronze finish that I like too...
