Cool So the three door version would be for the ST model only or will the regular Fiesta get the three door to the line up?

lol I was thinking the same thing.

I think that your Explorer SportTrak as a Lincoln would be decent competition against the Cadillac Escalade EXT, even though the Explorer is a Uni-body and the Escalade is a body on frame. It would also me a more luxurious looking "truck" then the SD platform would.

"We love Ford" Why yes we do :burnout:

It looks like its squatting and getting ready to take a dump.

yeah I just wish Ford would accept an Xplan for the Raptor. If they did I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Merry Christmas

The stance on this prototype SHO is really cool. It has that old school rake look, I love it.

Isn't it too late in the game to copy the Fiesta Movement campaign? They should have done that before the Cruze came out .

The taillights on this Caprice looks a lot like the current Impala taillights.

Makes me want to buy a new Taurus even more now.

I was thinking the same thing. That brown is very sharp.

Now I believe South America and Mexico have a high tax on USA made products? So with that said I thought Ford said that making them in Mexico will make that tax disappear so it could be sold in the States and Latin America. I will not lie, I wish that the Fusion and Fiesta was built in the States too. Maybe we could hope for a smaller plant in the States (Keep dreaming kyle).

What about that rumored upgraded Taurus SHO? or will we have to wait till Chicago for that?

Oh no clicked post one too many times. Can I delete it some how? sorry

Is it too soon for the global Mustang/Falcon platform show? I also thought I had read Ford was going to try the Falcon as a Lincoln for the N/A market? Am I too hopeful or just making stuff up?

But what about the manual option with awd? I know that the manual awd market is small. Is there a decent shot for that?

What would really be great would be a 2.0 EB Fusion with AWD and a 6spd manual. One can hope, right?

Ive seen two 2011 Explorers around here in the Chicago area. A red limited with 4X4 badges and a silver one that I see on my way to work every day. But then again they are being built here in Chicago along with the MKS and Taurus. They looked really sharp. I think I creeped out the person who was driving because I was gazing.

After I typed that I forgot that many BON members are global. My bad if I came across negative.

The last Capri that sold in the United States was in 1994 (I believe) but it wasn't Mustang based. The 1990-1994 Mercury Capri was FWD with a 1.6L I-4 which was produced by Ford of Australia. The Mustang based Mercury Capri was from 1979-1986. The only differences from the Mustang and Capri from 1979-1986 was mainly cosmetic and both had different special edition models. But the engine/transmission and interior was closely the same but with a little Mercury inspiration. But I wouldn't mind Capri, but I think the Maverick nameplate would better suit a Ford for a North American Market (or United States only). I think I could argue both nameplates given both have history through out the Ford brand. But most consumers would tie the Capri name with Mercury if I came to the shores of the States. Just my opinion though
