Anybody here have any thoughts, speculations or rumors about whether or not Ford will will offer a Bullitt SE variation at any point, 
or was 2001 yer only chance? 
Seems to me this platform would do far more justice to the Bullitt than the last one ever could. For one thing, it LOOKS more like the original.
Cheers...

I don't think ford would pay the royalties again for the name...
However with the new BULLITT movie, who knows...could be a great marketting scheme.
I think the look may be recaptured as a SE, but may not be called it...
Possibley Heritage/Retro edition..who knows

I word....SEMA.
Who knows what great things await us when it rolls around.
Right now, we know NOTHING really, other than we've had a hint dropped that we might see "something".

AKA 1 BULLITT------------ Legacy TMS Member
I'd be happy if a high performance Shelby or a Boss is brought back. The name is not really that important to me, all that is needed is the Dark Highland Green or a similar shade. The Cobra would be fine too.

Though it'd be cool if they made a new Bullitt, I think it'd be better if Ford went in a new direction other then reverting back to making another Bullitt or Mach 1. I think they should make the SE a Boss, Shelby or possibly coming up with some new SE to catapult the platform into the future and not so much relying on the past for ideas since that's pretty much what the entire car already is.

I think maybe they could come up with a 'new' SE name...something that will stay in the lineup for a duration....could be a possibility

Not a fan of the GTR name...
They should just keep the Mach1 as the "drag racer" special edition. An awesome option would be deeper gears or somthing like that.
Knowing my luck, DHG will replace legend lime for '06

Well looking at the McQueen lookalike in that new commercial that will be coming out, you never know. I wouldn't mind a Bullitt, but I think they should bring back the Boss, and maybe even the Grabber colors along with it.
