With a car that is as sporty as the Taurus it should have dual exhaust like most cars in its class. Not the Mickey Mouse exhaust that the SEL and SE have on them, if you want to appeal to the younger drivers that are buying foreign cars.

( same for a VAN ?) Alos you must stop changing model name as its a problem with all your sales . I would also not have a ( V_8 ) in any of your line of cars and trucks unless ordered ( I EXCLUDE ALL COMMERICAL EQUIPMENT ) I t goes with out sayong that you must compete ?? but having been in business and owned cars for 65 years ( clon't keep changing model names ??@!~? ) It only reducies car sales and makre the old car name worth less money. And last but not least is " STOP MAKING CARS THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX ?? AND GET RID OF ALL THE TRICKS OR TREATS THATJUST ADDS COST TO YOUR PRODUCT AND NEVER USED Thanks for letting me voice my " THOUGHTS " PEACE..

I'm wondering if this will be the standard engine in the new Focus are just an optional engine upgrade? What will the base engine be in the new 2011 Focus? In regards to Ecoboost fuel economy the key word being used is "up to". Some recent reviews have shown no real significant increase in fuel economy compared to a non-Ecoboost, naturally aspirated engine.

I was planning on purchasing a 2010 Mustang GT but came to realize that the 3.5 EB was a better power plant than the 4.6 V8. I would go for a Taurus SHO but the weight and price of that car is rediculous. The unavailablity of a EB V6 in the Fusion is loosing you a sale.

Does this come with the SEL FWD or just AWD. What would you recommend for towing? For best road performance feel - FWD? AWD? Is the AWD worth the sacrifice in MPG and extra price? Thanks.
