Sorry, missed it.
 
MT also talks that Fusion might be next with ecoboost after mks.
 
Nothing to say about Mercury though?

Yep, what Allen just said.
 
I will add two more things:
 
The good looking Taurus that is scheduled for late 2009 introduction (2010 model year) will be on an upgraded version of the current platform - D3 -2, same as the MKS. After that, around 2012, it very well may merge to something else.
 
I also subscibe to MT along with C & D and Autoweek. Often the folks at MT don't know their *sses from a hole in the ground. C & D is usually a lot more accurate.

There is talk of the Fusion getting an Ecoboost engine - but it would be the 2.5L version putting out 260 hp, not the 340 HP 3.5L. V6 power with I4 Fuel Economy. However, that engine seems to be at least a year away, maybe more.

MT wrong again then. They're saying it'll be the V6 in the Fusion Sport. BTW, similar Mazda engine was trashed in a comparo in C&D this month. Terrbli gas mileage. Is Ford going to build a better, more economical engine than their Japanese partners? That would be a first, eh?

A wise man would reserve his opinion until he has the chance to see the "concept"
in person. I shudder to imagine an Englishmans interpretation of what a "Lincoln" is supposed to be.

The Ford EcoBoost is not the same as Mazda's 2.3L Turbo. They've been saying publicly 15%-20% better FE than a V6 or V8 of similar power. As conservative as they've been lately with HP ratings, etc. I don't think they'd be saying that in public if they weren't 99% sure they could deliver it. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Is there *anyone* out there who will buy a FLM over a competitor because you can say "Play Michael Bolton" and it will? I know I remain totally unimpressed. I am getting really sick and tired of all the sync commercials.
 
Umm.....yes. Here's one. I've tried out the SYNC, and it's so far superior to anything GM has, especially their outdated and stale Blondestar product. The only car that matches everything Ford has with SYNC is Lexus, and of course, it's much more costly to drive Lexus than Ford. Yes, I'll be there to line up for SYNC in my next
Ford truck or SUV. Maybe even in my next Luxury Car, if it's a Lincoln. I AM impressed, but......YMMV.

The last thing I want to see when I look at my dashboard is the word "Microsoft".

Guess I'd rather see that than "Check Engine."
