Does Ford motor come out with updated engine management programs for there vehicles. And how would you go about getting the latest up-date. And how much do they run. :stats:

Ford Motor says Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria will phase out in 2010-2012 timeframe, thus finally retiring their vintage-1979 basic design. However, sources say the company is spending some $200 million for '09-model chassis upgrades and cosmetic tweaks--which seems odd for death-row models at a company so strapped for cash. But Ford knows its recovery depends on coming up with hit products, so it's not skimping on replacement models. Among these, sources say, are new large rear-drive sedans based on either a modified Mustang platform or an architecture sourced from Ford Australia. The latter seems to have the inside track as more cost-effective, but whatever emerges would be built in North America, not Down Under. Timing is unclear, but we'd look for a model-year 2010 debut. :reading:

Thanks for the input. :reading:

I am setting on the fence on whether to purchas a 2008 GM. I am just waiting to see if Ford will offer a larger rebate greater then $5,500 on the GM. Since this is a buyer market Does anyone think they will up the rebate?? :shades:
