It was announced in July of last year that the MKS would definitely get the TwinForce 3.5L engine instead of the 4.4L V8.
 
And that was 18 months ago? Showing it in a concept car with a different name and confirming it in a production car are two completely different things.
 
We'll have to wait and see, but I just don't see the EB 2.5L anytime soon.
 
I agree up to the comma. However I think they'll work faster to get it out given the current market. They need to offer something that Honda, Toyota, Chevy, and Nissan don't have to sell more Fusions IMO. V6 power with I4 fuel efficiency with a small price premium, if any, (my assumption) would be just that. Especially if the EB motors live up to the promises.

No but it's longer than 6-8 months like you originally said. I thought it was in the MKS concept back in Jan. 2007 but it wasn't.
 
If they were going to do the EB 2.5L then they wouldn't need the PIP 3.0L. I just don't think the EB 2.5L will be available for at least 12-18 months.

At least I was closer!
 
I'm not sure where you're coming up with July either as I've only been able to find the announcement from the L.A. show in November of '07. That includes the Ford media site. I'm always on the lookout for some good insider info.

Actually, the article was not totally accurate. Yes, the EcoBoost (Twin Force) 3.5L V6 will debut in the Lincoln MKS. But NOT on the 2009 model. For 2009, only the Duratech 3.7L V6 is available, nothing else. The EcoBoost 3.5L will not be available until sometime during the 2010 model year.

If you read something last week about Ford Future product plans, CHANCES are that this week that info is OUT OF DATE.
 
PS Until you see it on the ground, or in an order guide, Don't count on it.
 
They are changing their plans now faster than Oprah changes dress sizes...

Of course it's not accurate, but that wasn't the question. The question was when did Ford announce plans for the EB 3.5L in the MKS. Not when it would actually arrive.

Traction Control Available on 2009 4 cylinder Fusion? by fusionguy
Jun 17, 2008 (3:40 pm)

I am new to this forum, but have been reading it as I am interested in buying a 2009 Fusion SEL 4cylinder. I read on edmunds.com with their pricing info for the 2009 Fusion that the Advance Trac Stability Control will be available as an option. I want to ask anyone out there if they know if this Advance Trac option will include Traction Control on the 4 cylinder Fusion. I know that Traction Control has been an option on the V6 Fusion since it was introduced, but never on the 4 cylinder Fusion. Thanks !

2010 Fusion interior by savetheland

Check out http://jalopnik.com. They published spy photos of 2010 Fusion interior. Looks like the old stuff with minor changes in typical Ford fashion.

Traction control is typically included with Advance Trac but can't say for sure. Check the Ford website when it shows up.
