I believe it has the seat well.

I never saw the show a few months ago, was it any good?

I understood, I think. And, yes, I believe we've (or at least I've) seen several articles in regards to reducing options/option complexity.

Wasn't the Atlanta plant/property sold to developers recently?

I too was going to mention the 500/Ka partnership in Europe. Maybe a similar type deal could be formed here? IIRC, Alan Mulally has also mentioned he is against alliances at least at this point, so whatever deal is made, if any, I would think would be small (and 500 production, I assume would be).

Is it coming there?

Not bad, although I'm not sure about the upkick/scoop thing just before the rear wheel, other than that, good work!

Our BMW has a small light by the headlight controls that illuminates when the headlights are on. To my knowledge, I don't know if any Ford vehicle has had an auto-up switch (unless the last-gen ST did?). I like having auto-up and -down in our BMW.

I see.

I agree with whoever said a 5-10% decrease.

Although I haven't been to the NY auto show, I saw the MKS at the FLIAS (Fort Lauderdale), and it looked great, I think it should sell very well for Lincoln. I haven't seen the X6 in person, and am not sold on it's design from pictures. Overall, I don't really like the direction BMW is going with their SUVs, I prefer the previous generation X5's looks to the current and will decide on the X6 when I see it.

I discovered where GM got it's inspiration for the taillights of the Malibu today.....

LOL, rumor has it they may be getting a compass next year......something about those square wheels just wasn't working.

IIRC, the MKZ's dash is pretty tall.

You bring up some good points, I just used the existing concept's roofline, and thus, the ribbing. I too don't think it'd make it to production. If done using EcoBoost engines, I'm sure Ford could come up with a relatively fuel efficient Bronco.

I love that! Looks great!

Good work......this one makes me thing VW Golf (last gen), LOL.

That's great, Tim!! Amazing work as usual.

I vote nay.....that'd ruin Cougar's reputation/heritage, the same way a Mustang sedan or wagon would ruin Mustang's heritage.

The two places I know for sure the F-150 is made at are: Dearborn Truck Plant (aka Rouge Plant) and Kansas City, Missouri (my dad's was built there) I took a tour of the Rouge Plant last year, and I too was very impressed....and they would not allow cameras.

Well, congradulations, I hope you enjoy it!

An article I just read mentioned June as well.

13mpgs? Driving very conservatively, I can pull 13.8 mpgs (according to the car's mpg computer) out of our Expedition, that's with a passenger and stuff in the back.

I too hope for an improved interior. I think Lincoln needs to move away from that 2-pod design they're trying right now.
