Be careful of playing the numbers game like you are, an increase of 60% for the Tundra, would only be a 10-15% sales difference in the F-150 sales. The F-150 still sells 3-4 times the same amount trucks that Tundra does in a month, and Ford didn't meet the incentives on the hood of the other full-size truck manufactures out there last month either. Unit sales can't be correctly judged till the old Taurus sales are finally out of the system, which should be by December of this year and Ford has stated many times over that they want to keep a 13% market share (which has kept), since thats their baseline to be profitable after the restructuring and will grow it once its done restructuring...

Well the biggest problem with that is all the D3 related cars out there...like the MKS, Flex, Lincoln Flex and whatever else they decide to do on it... If Ford is planning on a Huntsman based Mustang along with other RWD in NA, they shuoldnt have any problems supporting a large RWD sedan and a FWD/AWD Sedan.

Sounds like they didn't even bother driving the car from the review?

How is Ford being complacent? Theres far too much competition out there in the Truck market to allow yourself to go to hell like Dodge did before the 1994 truck..

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=9170 Well its nice to see Toyota's free ride with the press might be ending, but boy some of these environmental wack jobs need wise up..

LOL Thanks...I just figured that any info gained with working with the French was used in developing it...not that it was developed with them

The Ion and Cobalt share the same platform

You can shut them off in the board settings, unfortionally his is the main reason why I shut mine off...

Is her name Shelby? :D

It was canceled for a short period of time...

Your twisting your answers...You bashing Ford when ever you can isn't going to change anything...

You are really masochistic aren't you? Your tough-love thing for Ford is just plan ole bashing of the company you work for.

I dont think the roll out of new engines will really hurt the F-150...if anything it will keep interest in the product the first 3 years of production

just like wait till next year when it come to ford :happy feet:

I've been living with a 08 VW Jetta as a rental the past week or so, has an I5 with 170/170ish HP and Torque numbers and even with a 6 speed automatic, its a "sporty" car. I'd buy one if I got a stick (personal preference since all my cars have been 5/6 speeds) and it wasn't as unreliable as VW's have been. This is coming from someone with a 300HP 06 Mustang GT.

say what?

I guess the 08 Focus is PC's new whipping boy in addition to the Fusion :P

cars at the bottom are just regular Fusions? They dont have the "smoke black chrome grill" Now Pioneer can buy one since it doesn't have a chrome grill, but he'll still bitch its made in Mexico

Its been stated many times before on Mustang news groups that the Mustang will be all new from the greenhouse downwards. Also keep in mind Fields sent the design team for the Mustang back to the drawing boards when he saw the first restyle and the car got pushed back 6 months because of this.

Ion is a smaller car like the Focus, how where the sales of the LS..which was Saturn's compact or mid-sized offering...

I've seen a couple, but the strange thing is that I've seen quite a few Taurus around where I live since they launched...I barely saw any 500's when they launched a couple years ago untill about 90-180 days later...

I wonder how they are gonna make any money on it with the US dollar being so low in value

The LCF already has a deisel from Navistar that was supposed to go in the F-150, but couldn't make the emissions standards coming in 2010. Add in all the trouble Ford is having with Navistar, They ARE NOT going to use that engine in the next F-150, its coming from JV work with Peugeot in Europe. Plus Ford is working on its own in-house 6.8L Scorpion Diesel to replace the 6.4L power stroke, which should come out in 2011...

So we'll have a 185HP 2.5L I4 coming soon? What the deal with the 2.5L engine in the new Mazda6?

How did the 300 make Chrysler any more relevant then it is now? It was just a flash in the pan design and is now left to rot on the vine. If Chrysler offered a car that was worth a damn besides the 300, I bet that the 300 sales won't be as good as they are.
