#78 of 80 4 speed in the 2008 Escape by mschmal

This isn't about cost as much as its about prior bad decisions coming home to roost.Appearntly we are stuck with the 4 speed in the 08 Escape because Ford has no factory capacity for the new 6 speed.
Ford just announced a new plant inventment:
Van Dyke Transmission: $320 million to help assemble a fuel-efficient, six-speed, front-wheel drive transmission for the next generation Ford Escape.
We have to wait until 2010.

With all the white collar job eliminations at Ford, I hope the people (managers) who got the company into this mess are the ones being targeted.Mark.
