Forum is awefully quiet. I guess the 2013 Fusion, 2015 Mustang, 2013 Focus ST and upcoming F150 are so awesome Ford won't need any new products after 2015. Come on there must be something going on in Dearboarn Besides "Mustang III"! What will we see in the show room in '16, '17, '18? Someone must have a clue....

A new SD coming next fall? Hmmm, hadn't heard about that. Another refresh or will we finally see a completely new truck?

Not like the current Edge is particularly outdated compared to any of its competition at the moment.

 

Currently, no. But two years from now, it will be. I was hoping the next gen Edge would come out before the current Edge looked too dated. An all new Edge for 2015MY will mean that the current Edge will be riding on the same chassis for 8 years with only one major update. If the 2014MY is a short one, that might be okay to keep the Edge from getting too stale.

With as early as the 2013MY, both it and the 2014MY will likely be full years, with the redesigned model being introduced Spring 2014. If it's not until Q3 2014 as indicated above, that will make for at least one very long model year. I'm still not sure why 2012MY was so short.

I think the F150 will be all new for 2015MY. Who knows when/if the next Expy/Navi will be here.

I sure hope the new Expedition shows up in '15MY. I want to buy one, but not until they get rid of the old Modular engine.

 

Not putting the 5.0L and/or the 3.5L EcoBoost in the Expedition/Navigator after it was introduced in the F150 is an insult to those customers intelligence and pocketbook.

for the Lincoln C489 program in Kentucky

Either way unless the F150 looses over 1000lbs its not not going to make the 2016 fuel economy goals. F100 with 2.0 and 2.7 liter ecoboost anyone?

 

Keep in mind the EPA MPG ratings on the sticker vs what is counted for CAFE are two different things, I don't think Ford is that far off with its current and projected increases in MPG

I see Lincoln's small CUV has a mention, the C489, well there's also rumblings of a Lincoln C558.

 

Next Gen Taurus - D568.. mmm i'm all confused over this one, FordAPA had some control on this but have handed it back to Dearborn. I've got APA guys telling me it's not Taurus, yet i've got NA guys telling me it is. I'm starting to believe N.A is right (I think, maybe!)

 

There's also the D544! not hard to work out what that is considering both D cars are CD4.3 cars.
