This might be old news... but I just read this in an article discussing the death of the Thunderbird....




Ford is killing the Taurus, too. It will let the present model run until the rent-a-car companies don't want it. The replacement will be a smaller sedan, built off a Japanese Mazda platform, to be called the "Futura."

I think that some high-powered egos are at work here. The present management at Ford didn't create the Thunderbird. And the present management didn't create the Taurus. Rather than fix the problems, they'll start fresh with cars for which today's managers can take credit. That is, if these cars succeed.

That's VERY old news. Ford lost the rights to use the name "Futura" since Pep Boys owns it now so they decided to call it the "Fusion" (of which much information has been posted in this forum).

The T-Bird will be back. It's going to be discontinued again since the last T-Bird was only meant to be a "limited edition"

A S/C version would be nice to see on the road again. I really like the 90's Supercoupes. They were very attractive!
