Info on new L at Cleveland Auto Show.

I saw the concept L at the Cleveland auto show today. A couple of interesting things that I hope haven't been posted yet. The first thing is that it should be priced around $38,000. That's within reach of a lot of people. Second - Ford has been talking about the 50 horse boost by cooling the antifreeze in the intercooler with the A/C, which would increase it to 550 horses. The guy today said that this may be cost prohibitive, and they may just design it to put out 550 horses without the A/C factor. He also mentioned that if they use the A/C to boost hp, it would be good for about a 30 second shot, and it would take about 2 minutes to be ready to go again.

I was happiest to hear the projected price. If the stock market takes off again to where any idiot can make money in it, I may have a chance of getting a new L.
