Whats an SE and how much will it cost?

We don't know for sure what it will be or how much it will cost. Rumors have been flying around about another Mach1, a Boss variant, or possibly a Shelby.
However, after several of us have talked to Ford Rep's at shows where the 05 have been displayed, it seems that the next SE will be more of an Appearance package, with little, or no Performance Mod's.
Expect to see LeMans Stripes, the Intake Cover and probably the Strut Tower Brace as parts of the next SE.

<span style='color:#4269E7'>ONLY300 horsepower. Back in 1983/84 a buddy and I went to look at a 70 Z28 that was for sale. Had 3.55 rears 4 speed and ,guess what dadad.300horsepower 350. I test drove it. MAAAAAN. what a car. I didnt buy it because I didnt have 5 grand. Ya,in 1984 you could buy a classic muscle/pony car for 5 grand. My point? ONLY300 hp is alot of darn horsepower,even in the muscle car hayday,300 horsepower was nothing to sneaze at. I personaly have never owned a car with 300 horsepower. Oh and azure blue fonts are cool. I wishI could figure out how to use it for all the letters/words.</span>

Should I even start on the previous generation(F-150) impact issues? heck my GTI is considered one of the safest cars around, side impact airbags are standard. Once I made up my mind to buy it, the safety was just an added bonus. Actually, the attitude/conduct of the salesman had much more impact on my purchase. Oh and side impact airbags are available on the SRT-4. I've seen firsthand the danger of convertibles, but it doesn't mean the car is JUNK.

That the new F-series can actually OUTSCORE most compacts with more then 3 times the energy now is phenominal. It is a quadruple 5-star vehicle. If the two should meet in real life, that wonderfull econocar owner would be turned into confetti. It also does not measure the effects of a collision REVERSING kinetic energy against the smaller vehicle either. It is actually a SCAM-it DOES help safety, but does cause a MISCONCEPTION to keep the small car alive and well in popularity. They should run the barrier into the car(s) rather then the car into them. The side impact test is fair to all vehicles.
The frontal and offset tests only show how well vehicles perform against bridges.

My point was.....it doesn't make the F-150 junk. I know those things always have a slant. However not every colision is with another car. There are plenty of immovable objects that become part of an accident(a tree). It wouldn't alter my purchase either. Sure, having more steel around you probably going to help you in most collisions, but if that was the attitude we'd all be driving an M1-A1 Abrams tank. So at least be fair and rate it against similar vehicles.

What sparked the SUV thing was people are too obsessed with image and wanted a gas-guzzling, oversized, off-road capable (that won't be used) status symbol, rather than drive a minivan or a wagon. If it was about safety, Volvo would be the parent company.

The thing manufacturers today (should) care about (they're beginning to, at least over here) is the protection of the smaller, weaker car in an accident if an SUV or truck is involved...
