  1. Thought I saw the front end not as long as the concept. I think they should have used the exhaust setup as well.
  2. The 2016 Taurus for China is on the Ford media website. I don't know how to post links on this site.
  3. Because the Bentleys are based on the A8 platform which is front wheel drive based with all wheel drive.
  4. The difference between the two to me appears that one is 2 wheel drive and the other is 4 wheel drive. Window lines appear the same to me.
  5. I think number 4 will disappear and be replaced by the D6 or whatever it will be called.
  6. Ford claims to have used a steel firewall because it damps out the engine noise better.
  7. I'm waiting to see some one other than Motor Trend do instrumented testing and drive impressions on the F150.
  8. http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/truck/2015_chevrolet_colorado_is_the_motor_trend_truck_of_the_year/
  9. That 6.8 is with awd. I haven't seen a test of the front drive 2.0 yet.
  10. The reason there is no diesel F150 is because of the expensive after treatment system needed for a diesel to meet emissions requirements. Combined with diesel fuel being more expensive, the pay back for better economy is out of reach of most buyers.
  11. Great mines think a like. I saw this on Chris Doane's FB page. I also said it looks like a transformer. But after looking closely at the pic, I think the hood is released. It might look a tad better with it completely closed.
  12. I think it will be a cloaking device to make the car invisible to radar and laser.
  13. The information provided is what is mostly already floating around. It says that the power ratings of the current engines will be the same at launch and then change going forward. There are no interior shots. It also says that it would only be slighty smaller and around 200 pounds lighter.
  14. I have the December issue of Car and Driver and it has what is supposed to be the 15 Mustang on the cover. Is it ok to post the cover on this forum?
  15. All diesel trucks use DEF now including International. They almost went belly up on warranty cost just trying to use EGR to cut NOx. They are now buying cummins scr equipment for their engines. International dealers are littered with dead egr engines. Good thing Ford went their own way on engines.
  16. Its like the Lincoln is panned for using the Fusion platform(which CD said his excellent on the review for the Fusion), but the ES300 is so great even though it uses the Camry platform. (Which CD rated last in its last comparison). Other than maybe the price, I don't see the problem.
  17. Here's the first official test. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2013-lincoln-mkz-test-review
  18. Autoweek.com has a fairly favorable review of the 2013 MKZ. I don t know how to link it to this post. I'm using my phone.
  19. It might be the Taurus. Look at the door mirror placement. The Fusion and MKZ prototypes have the mirrors on the body of the door, this car has it in the window corner.
