WOW ,I m amazed at the beauty of the lincon MKR engine. I have been reading about fuel efficient vehicles. I know, we the public really are not aware of all the little details that go into the process. I have always been a FORD guy and will be on the look out for more fuel efficient transportation keep up the good work. Oh and remember there are more than tree huggers buying cars so make them look good.

I myself am awaiting a more fuel efficient, econmic, yet functional SUV. (And not a Ford Escape which has no offroad capability) I need something with towing and offroad capability, but won’t settle for a pick-up truck. In the meantime, I’m probably going to end up with my dad’s 1994 Bronco that he bought new, or buying a new Toyota FJ Cruiser. Ford Engineers: Step up to the plate, bring back the Bronco!!

will purchase a new vehicle fall of 2008 when the crossovers appear in numbers. We considered Ford edge but lean toward a hybrid

 Regarding fuel cell hydrogen vehicles and the infrastructure; build it and they will come. Just like Henry did!

 IM AN RV PERSON WHO OWNS A MOTOR HOME ON A FORD CHASSIS. WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TOW A FOR 4 WHEELS DOWN (FLAT TOW) FORD HAS VERY LITTLE TO OFFER. SINCE MOST OF US ARE OF OLDE AGE STANDARD TRANSMISSION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SATURN BUILD SMALL VEHICLES WITH AUT TRAN CAPABLE OF FLAT TOWING AND IS ALWAYS AT RV RALLYS TO PROMOTE THEM. WHEN IS FORD GOING TO WAKE UP?? MANY, MANY GOOD FORS CHASSIS MOTOR HOMES ARE TOWING SATURNS. WHAT A SHAME FORD !!!!!!!!

For 28 years I have been driving Ford products til 2006. In that time, I have owned, then passed down to kids and other family over 20 vehicles. The big 3 US automakers ability to use its ad hand resources in an agile response to changing market environments and customer needs is the core of their issues. In January 2004 http://media.ford.com/newsroom/feature_display.cfm?release=16642 Ford talked up the Bronco concept at autoshows with a 2.0 liter turbo diesel. Although for years as a consumer, I wanted vehicles exported yet not made available in country like the Ranger Thunder 4 door with diesel, I figured Ford would return to being ahead of the demand with the Bronco. Torque and fuel economy and fun all in one package. I waited, waited then in 2006 when Ford not only failed to put the Bronco online and also failed to provide a small diesel or alt fuel vehicle capable to even pull as small popup camper, I purchased a Hummer H3. As close to the Bronco as I could find. Ford has access to the products, they simply fail to be agile enough to make things happen with any degree of response time. I want to return to the stable, yet someone needs to make some changes and reducing the product line and rebadging vehicles with old names is not the answer.

Losing $12Billion a year is a tough thing to live through. Ford could be THE American car company to lead into the future. The technology is there. The marketing prowess is there. Is it peer pressure from GM, Daimler, etc.? Why not move the world to a zero emissions vehicle? Put it out there. Let the market decide. Right now, Toyota and Honda are leading and will soon provide a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle providing 100-150+MPG in the first 60 miles. Why not Ford? Step out. Sure, its expensive. So is real estate in Seattle. From this Ford stock holder, I’m waiting for the car company that changed the world to do it again. I looked at an M5 BMW at the auto show. $98,000. Why not a PHEV for $50k? Do it. Just do it.

As an avid car enthusiast I live, breath, and think cars each day. I am also down right tired of seeing our money and resources go over seas to the mid east countries.

We must become independent of oil —– but companies like Ford Motor Co. must help lead the way. I would much rather see large profits for our farmers ( to grow crops for fuel usage) than the foreign countries than seem to dislike us so much.

Ford, I am very much interested in purchasing the new Mustang—– where is the V8 engine to run alternative fuels like E-85??
