What Ford will be like in 2010

http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2...ew-lineup.html


I dunno, i have to think ford has something going for them soon.

The new Taurus should be a savior. The other econoboxes should help too. hopefully if the f150 gets a 6.2 it will save ford along with the rest. That new sprinter-style van will definitly boost fleet sales. Can't wait to see those in the shop.

edit: forgot about the SD with the new 6.7 Scorpion.

Hmm things could be falling into place for ford. Or it could all come crashin down in one year.

Thats the thing. You really cant tell/predict it. Look how fast things went south with the oil market...

Ford is doing just fne. Kerkorian dumped a ton of money on them just a month or so ago and the future line-up looks fantastic. Anyone who has half a brain knows Ford > GM/Dodge. My money is on a merger between two of the "Big 3" eventually.

Like the Ford Fusion, the Mercury Milan will get a mild redesign for 2010 along with a more efficient four-cylinder engine. A hybrid version will be offered for the first time, borrowing the same technology used in the Ford Escape Hybrid.limo hire

Ford has a lot of great cars. Just like the old ad used to say, "Have you driven a Ford lately?"

The Focus is a great eco-car with a little sport to it. The Mustang gets a facelift in 2010 (the GT is supposed to get the GT500's front. SWEET!) I believe the Taurus should become the next police cruiser. The Edge and the Flex are pretty good as far as crossovers are concerned.

Ford trucks are definitely going to take hit in sales. The new f150 should help that, if Ford would just release it with the Boss 6.0L. The new Scorpian diesel, if it's as good as i heard it is, should be even better than the cummins.

All Ford needs to do is drop the fuel cell and focus on hybrid and electric technology. That, not hydrogen fuel cells, is the absolute best alternative to fossil fuels.
