That's a lot of variations! I'll be happy if they give us a Fiesta, and not some jacked up micro SUV b-segment type thing... Unless its a compact, true off-roader Bronco like the Wrangler, a real specialty vehicle rather than something trying to be a mainstream commuter car, i'm not interested. I'm just worried they'll skip giving us a true b-segment car and just give us a tiny SUV based on the fiesta platform, and that would be ridiculous in my eye.

Other than that... hmmm, obviously a Focus on par with what's in Europe, maybe moved a little upmarket over the Fiesta, and with a real sporty variant, and please don't ditch the hatchback! Larger hatchbacks are awesome!

A wagon version of the fusion!

If they're gonna bring in a Fairlane type thing for a people mover, how bout downsizing the freestyle a couple inches in terms of height, make it an actual large station wagon, rather than a bulky tall wagon, and offer a third row delete, or no third row at all.

Keep on supporting the Panther cars, give them a serious update with a hybrid option for all those idling cop cars and taxis.

As for the trucks... things are looking cool, but I REALLY wanna see some kind of fuel saving technology in there. Hydraulic hybrids all around or something? Or electric hybrids for the SUVs, clean diesel for the F-150 and Expedition. Hell, how about a diesel F-150 with hydraulic assist?
The only thing about the hydraulic hybrid is that i dunno how that tech lends itself to engine shut off at idle. To me, for work trucks, automatic shut off at idle is key.

And hey, once everythings back on track, how bout a sweet halo car to celebrate. Something like the GR-1 or Shelby Cobra, or something crazy cool we haven't seen yet.

Why? That's why the F-250 exists.

Some people may not like the looks of F-250.


F-150 is best seller of F-Series; more engine choices - better selles.

On certain models, i think you should be able to order FRPP things. Like a turbo for the fusion/500..
