  1. Yeah, Eco-something. I have a feeling the only way you're going to get V6s is to spend big dollars on a Taurus or something similar. There is such a huge push ti increase MPGs thanks to Obama's new rules that performance is going to go away. Welcome back to the late 1970's!
  2. Talk is you'll only get 4-cylinders in the all-new 2013 models. All Eco-Tec turbos of one kind or another.
  3. I'm guessing that since so much of the powertrain comes from Japan that maybe parts are hard to come by now? That catastophe over there shut down many important factories. And since Ford can make a lot more money selling a Lincoln than they can a Ford, they are using what parts they can get on the more expesive car. Just speculaing here.
  4. Not me. I needed the AWD and they don't make a Hybrid + AWD. Wish the did.
  5. NAPA has the cabin air filter. P/N FIL4367. List $8.79
  6. Because you didn't pay the extra $$$ for the automatic climate control. It is optional on the Sport model.
  7. Zacks Equity Research, On Thursday October 14, 2010, 3:45 pm EDT Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F - News) plans to eliminate a third of its 1,200 Lincoln dealers in the U.S. The automaker has 500 Lincoln dealerships in the metropolitan markets while 700 dealerships are located in rural areas. So far, 175 dealerships from the urban areas have been reported to be eliminated. Ford has decided to market the Lincoln models in 130 urban areas where demand for luxury good is very strong. In order to improve the customer services, the automaker will ask the remaining dealerships to upgrade their showrooms and services. Ford has decided to meet each of its Lincoln dealers twice by the end of the year to advise them about the required investment to be made for the upgrading program. Dealers have revealed that the renovations could cost about $2 million per showroom. Ford has decided to expand its luxury Lincoln line-up at the cost of its Mercury line-up, which will be phased out by the end of this year. The company plans to launch as many as 7 new Lincoln vehicles in the next 4 years, including a small car model in 2014. In late 2010, Ford will introduce the restructured 2011 MKX crossover, followed by another six significantly refreshed vehicles. The company will include V-6 engine, advanced fuel-efficient transmissions and EcoBoost engines in all its new Lincoln line-ups. On the other hand, Ford will suspend production of its Mercury branded vehicles in the fourth quarter of this year. The company will divert the resources from Mercury towards its core Ford brand besides enhancing the Lincoln brand. Lincoln is the only surviving luxury line after Ford has sold off Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin and Volvo. As a result, Ford expects the brand to compete with other notable luxury lines, such as Toyota Motor’s (NYSE: TM - News) Lexus, General Motors’ (Other OTC: MTLQQ.PK - News) Cadillac and Daimler AG’s (Other OTC: DDAIF.PK - News) Mercedes- Benz.

  8. Weathertech are more expensive because they are so much better than anything else. Made In U.S.A. too!
  9. I don't get it. If you need a 100% perfect car, and can't deal with a recall or a problem along the way, then why not just buy another "perfect" Honda?
  10. Splash Guards, Molded, Front Pair Part Number: AE5Z-16A550-AA Should be $45-$55 depending on the dealer. They take 10 minutes to install, so don't pay them to install them! Go here and find a participating dealer: 2010 Fusion Accessories
  11. Changed mine after 15K miles. Man was there a lot of junk in it! As an allergy sufferer, I'm sure glad Ford chose to put these in the cars.
  12. What type of moron puts one set of floor mats on top of another? Why is "user error" always the manufacturer's fault antway?
  13. Looks like any wheel with a 114.3mm x 5 bolt pattern, 17x7 with 40mm offset, or 17x7.5 with 45m offset will fit. That being said, all the current Fusion/Milan wheels will fit your MKZ. 2006-up Mustang wheels will fit as well.
  14. It isn't hard to get the computer read-out to show numbers like that. But it is usually optimistic, and those would obviously be short-term numbers. No way you are going to see those kind of numbers for an average.
  15. Get under there and look at it! If it isn't obvious to you how it comes apart at that point, then you probably should not be attempting the job at all. In the time it took to write the posts above, you could have taken it apart, replaced the filter, and put it back together.
