And maybe show the Cougar some love?? , but alas i dont think Mercury will last much longer :(. Actually come to think of it this is Fords chance to bring the Cougar back the retro T bird's bad taste is still fresh in a lot of peoples mouths ( I personally would love to have one of the retro's but they are just to rare / expensive). Bring the Cougar back as a Mustang twin (Like it was originally) and offer some luxurious options that would be specific to the Cougar.


Haha well it's kinda hard to have a Cougar without first having a Mercury brand...hence why I just said Tbird.  But if Mercury is able to hang around, then yes, a Tbird/Cougar duo would be mandatory :D .

Shouldn't  Ford have say over their divisions foreign or not? What i mean is should they not have the authority to say f*ck you Australia and move it over here, something reeks here.

I think the gist of that article is that RWD Fords will still be developed in Australia. It doesn't necessarily mean they won't send 'em here, or indeed, even build 'em in North America...

Of Course, this IS Ford, so they WILL screw the few loyal Ford fans that remain...

Thats what worries me I love me some Fords but it seems lately they have sat around with their thumbs firmly glued in their asses.

What-effin-ever.
 
I gave up caring long ago. They wanna run the  company into the ground? FINE. Good thing these cars are cheap now. Most of us on this board already have our hands on one (or more!) and if not it sure aint hard to. We'll just continue enjoying the old stuff in memory of a time when the people who produced them actually gave a rat's ass.
 
I honestly couldn't give a  at this point if Ford's entire lineup looked like a Focus morphed, stretched, and ized (quite POORLY, of course) into whatever the particular vehicle was, whether a van truck SUV etc and they were all wrong-wheel-drive and all boring-ass hybrids.
 
I don't mean to sound cold and cruel and pessimistic but there's never any good news....so if I don't expect anything good...then there's no shattered hopes!!! :D  = I WIN WIN WIN.

Or the Poncho-camino. Or the Camaro. :dunno: The Chrysler LX cars are built here too. The problem is none of those cars were developed here. Anyone else think the new Zeta platform is the closest thing we've seen to Fox in a while? As in they are building at least five different cars on the platform, and a lot more models in different countries (even a Lumina).
