I've heard around that they're also planning a new engine line (early stages), but the prospect is still there 
Either way - I agree that Challenger and Camaro are going to have a brawl...  |
You are correct, the next redesign will happen in 09 and the GT will be sporting a 400hp V8 and a 300hp V6. and a 600hp GT500 and a 530hp Rally car with IRS and better handling features.
Oh and it was the Fusion not the Edge,
The Ford Fusion scored well in Consumer Reports’ annual new car reliability survey; in fact it even beat out the traditional top quality cars of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. However, Japanese brands still rate the highest in automobile standards.
Of the 47 vehicles on the list, 39 are Japanese and they are hard to beat. Toyota and Honda in particular are the winners of the highest ratings world wide.
The good news for American Motor companies is that American vehicles are continuing to improve in reliability and many other ways.
Six of the most reliable vehicles are from General Motors or Ford.
The Ford Fusion, in fact, scored especially well and beat out many brands of Japanese cars. Also, the Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr made the list along with GM’s Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. The Pontiac Vibe Wagon from GM also made the list.
Only one European car made the list, the Mini Cooper. Unfortunately for European car companies, 19 of the 45 least reliable cars come from Europe. The least reliable list also contained 5 models from Nissan.
WAY TO GO USA ....
