I wonder what BNSF RR thinks about that, Santa Fe made Amtrac quit using the Super Chief name on their Chicago to L A trains years ago.
I thought they had a copyright on the name and term "Super C"

Holy cow ... that thing is FUGLY !!! (Ford UGLY ...

What is it with the truck manufacturers these days ... gotta make all this plastic that looks like it would withstand driving thru a 10' thick brick wall.
That truck looks like a tank but you know better.

I can't imagine what designer could possibly think that the big flat oversized wall of a grill could possibly be inspired by the "Super Chief" which was usually pulled by F-units or Alco-PA's. Those were beautiful in their times because they were Streamlined.
The Locomotive of the future looked like it could cut through the air like a knife. The Ford of the future looks like it could push dirt with it's plow like grill.
Seems like they are treading on thin ice with the name thing though.
Just my thoughts before coffee this morning.
