Well done Ford.
It's a great sentiment from Ford, and I hope for a while they can help expose the folly of all the "EV inevitability". EVs are the Trojan horse to end fossil fuels and usher in a new low-expectation, low quality of life Transition future.
A few high-end ICE models from Ford and GM are not anywhere near keeping ICE around as a viable option for the average car-buyer. Better than nothing, I suppose.
But, unnfortunately it sounds somewhat similar to Reuss's reassurances recently about ICE and EV compatibility. This was band-aid ICE pr, and seems to be so unlike GMs direction now. I think Ford will likely end up the same.
