One of the unfortunate realities of this recall is that the fix is only temporary, basicly resetting the clock. The new airbags are of the same design as the originals. NHTSA now admits that many will have to be recalled again once (if) a real solution is found. Also at this point, its likely that Takata will fail and leave the burden to the auto companies. NHTSA also admits that the option to have the cars bought back essentially does not exist due to the numbers. Could you imagine Ford trying to buy back GTs?

My question is with the 6.2l gone, what gas engine will the new SD offer?

Good luck getting another dealer to get involved in a warranty repair already done and paid to another dealer. You need to get Ford involved and have them send you and the car to another dealer.

The latter, not the former...

Lincoln MKGT

If you really believe those lines are anonymous when the $#%^ hits the fan in court....keep dreaming. The messages are only anonymous until they are needed not to be.

Too late for that one. Some models of the mustang and F-series and a number of Lincolns have had aluminum hoods for years. The Ford GT was all aluminum body panels except the front trunk lid.

Cmax is too small and lacks AWD. In its base economy car segment, its too expensive. If they had built an Escape Energi instead, it would have done far better. Escape is mainstream for Ford, Cmax is trying to enter a market segment where they are the underdog in the extreme.

There is already some sort of partnership or working trade agreement between Ford Parts and Amazon.com. The last several orders I have placed for Motorcraft or Ford parts through amazon were shipped directly from a Ford warehouse in amazon packaging and invoicing. As there is a large Ford parts warehouse here in Houston, I usually get these parts next day. Wish the whole ford parts catalog was available this way. I do agree the online fordparts.com site and lookup engine needs work. Perhaps they should get some help from amazon on doing lookups.

The 6.8 is also the only engine in the F53 motorhome chassis. Don't know how many of those they build a month.

Ok, you asked.... Here is a pic of me with my 'Other Wife':

Why do you think there will be no Shelby product in 15? The Ford GT was not technically an SVT product.

New? as in they have been here over 10 years on Fords? 2005 Ford GT uses a cartridge filter (same filter as many BMWs) and on the 6.0 Diesels since 2003.

I will go on record stating that I like it. No, its not the major step change that the 05 was but it does look like a Mustang. I really hope the information on weight reduction is true along with suspension improvements and the significant HP planned (I know the 5.8 is gone). I thinks its a move in the modern direction.
