Well said, Traveler. I agree with you about Ford's future.

Good news for Town Car/Panther buyers.

I agree. From the exterior, I couldn't tell, but they used the Mustang's air vents, air controls, and steering wheel. Those are the major giveaways. And of course, the fact that it has a floor shifter kinda gives it away too, since the Aston uses the dash buttons. http://www.astonmartins.com/vanquish/images/DSCN9317.jpg http://bp2.blogger.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/R4LQ6f...-h/Aston_16.jpg

I too am wondering what it ends up costing. I'd assume it's cheaper than the actual car's price tag though.

That's amazing, I want one. I couldn't even tell from the exterior.

I thought the same thing when I saw the list.

I agree, I like them too. One think that enabled them to have more detail is the fact that the turn signals are now integrated into the headlight enclosure, not separate like they are on the 05-08/9? model.

Maybe he's hiding his face so Ford doesn't see who allowed a spy photographer to take pics of the new Mustang?

I don't know about that rendering. The front looks ok, but I don't think the crosshare in the lower grille works with the design. The back, yuck. It doesn't work or flow at all. The side, I don't like that fender vent/character line treatment. Also, I agree with jonas1022, I dont think Chrysler needs to be worrying about a 2 door right now, with the exception of Challenger. It's a similar situation to Ford, they need to get the core business (sedans, CUVs, etc.) together, profitable, etc. before they think about producing sporty, low volume 2 door models (except for the icons, Challenger (since it's already done)/Mustang).

What is the "deluxe folding tailgate?"

IMO, since the 03 Ram, Dodge has been more about looks than overall "truckiness", but that's my opinion. I think the new F-150 looks great too. As suv_guy said, the F-150 doesn't have a carry-over transmission. It will have the Expedition's 6-speed standard on ALL models. Also, the 5.4 is supposedly getting some improvements that should result in a slightly higher hp rating than it currently has (I've heard 325 hp). A new engine (I can't remember which, though)will debut 6 months after launch as well.

I too think they did a good job on it. I'm also glad to see them drop those hideous round bug-eye lights.

I agree. I think Ford did a great job with the current Mustang, and I'm sure they'll continue that with the new Mustang.

Why is it illegal to use the suction cup? That seems stupid. It sounds like when it comes to California and vehicles, there's a very short list of 'DOS/CANS' and a looooooong list of 'DONTS/CANTS'.

I agree, it is a good looking truck. On a related topic: the Mark LT's replacement, the Platinum F-150 looks pretty good.

double post.

I noticed that.....I got a pic as my computer's background before they took it down though.

I see, it seems like this will have been one of the better kept 'secrets'/NAIAS debuts, then.

I understand what you were saying. I suppose at least Ford recalls their vehicles instead of having "warranty adjustments". I really think the only reason people buy Tundras is for the Toyota emblem.

Sorry forgot to add that part and yes that is true.

All I have to say is if the conept looks anything like that rendering, it'll be ugly.

That was a very long post kevin. On you're thought about the Corvette's door handles, inside the car there are manual release levers in case your battery dies or something like that.

I don't know about lower end models but higher models have the trip computer that tell you ifyoure low on washer fluid, at least that's how it works on our Expedition and I assume its the same for the F-150.

Well it looks great and I believe you when you say that grille took a while to do.

Will the MKT/F going to be at NAIAS for sure then?
