Interesting, brief read about the Maverick's development process. Sounds like one auto maker may have finally gotten tired of the executive bureaucratic BS that hinders development, and is letting the engineers do their jobs. It would be nice to shake the cigar-smoking, crows nest-sitting, hindrances to innovation out of this industry so we can return to getting interesting vehicles. Not to say that the Maverick is particularly innovative or even interesting to me, but I think it's a step in the right direction, development-wise.
