For awhile there we were getting regular stories about Mulally doing this or Mulally changing that and suddenly it all stopped. Is it that he's no longer a top story or is it something else? I'm curious if anyone has any insight into it.

He is shopping for a global marketing director ...

He is also supposed to be evaluating strategic reorganization of the Sales department(s)

They are probably brewing a lot of changes, but not ready to announce them as done yet.

Remember - while it only took a single announcement to let us know that Ford has new Product development and brand structure, internally, that transition is probably still going on.

Not sure if this is Mulally news but Taurus will get the Twin Force engine. Not sure if it will be called SHO though.

Here's some news for you concerning Mr. Mulally.

The use of turbos also makes it pretty simple to dial in different horsepower ratings for essentially the same engine. I wouldn't be too surprised if the TwinForce in the Taurus has a little less boost to give the Lincoln D3 variant a slight HP advantage.

Either way, this is GREAT (might I even suggest Bold) news.

I am going to go way out on a limb and say that was in fact pure pot-stirring. Any reason at all to think otherwise?

I don't do that sort of thing. The Twin Force GTDI 3.5 will be in the CY 2009/MY 2010 Taurus restyle.

It would be meant as a replacement to the 4.2 V6 currently in the F150. The new engine would develop more HP, and get better gas mileage.

It is not a replacement for the V8's...
