Get ready to sell the LGT ;)

They have plans to drop the EcoBoost in almost all it's models. The SHO and the MKZ have the new TT6 putting out 365hp, and it is intended to be used in all the applications it can fit in. It'll be in the Mustang once they find out how to work the GT powerplant to remain "better" and will be in most of the SUVs as well. There were talks of an "SVT" Fusion which would be AWESOME, but they were put to rest when things went down the drain in general, however I won't be surprised to see it revived. When they were brewing it up, the "SVT" Fusion was supposed to be an Audi S4 competitor with:

380-420hp
6 speed trans
AWD
Full on sport suspension and body work/wheels/etc.

If that comes out, I just may continue to own a Fusion.

Ford definately isn't what it used to be. I have had my mustang since it was 2 years old and now is almost 8 years old. Has 95k miles on it, daily drove it all the time and still runs like new. I like the interior too, but honestly, I would love to switch out the leather seats to cloth.

Ford is awsome, their SVT devision is some of the best engineering I've seen. Simple and effective.

All the US car companies are decent now a days. Quality has gone up alot since they go the bad rap years ago. People are just brainwashed by commercials and thinking their boying toyota or civic is so great. New flash, its the same thing.

Id rock one all day. Only complaint on the new taurus is the big price tag.

Same report rated Ford about 90% reliability, GM a little above 50%, and Chrysler down in the 10-20% range.
