FoA have looked at Taurus but that's about it.....

Point 2. Well the Wheels article quite plainly eluded to the fact that the new twin turbo V6 isn't as grunty as the inline six in the F6, not as much power and not nearly as much torque delivered through an inherently less efficent AWD system, what's to like compared to the iconic inline six ?

In the F150, the Ecoboost V6 makes 270 Kw @ 5,000 and 565 nm @ 2500 rpm,
only because the top end power is clipped to protect the image of the 6.2 Boss engine...

Get that bottom end torque?
A TRUCK engine has arguably more torque than our favorite F6, the EB only falls short because
the top end power is clipped for truck duty, watch the mustang EB due out next year, the power is just wow...

Point 3 - Not sure how you could draw that inference from what I posted earlier, (see signature for FPV allready owned)

people buying the last of an engine thinking that it will be a collectors gem...

5 years is a long time and whilst I agree anything can happen, clouds appear to be gathering on the distant horizon and i'm not sure I like the shape of them.

Ford is more than pleased with falcon and Territory, don't listen to journalist garbage,
next Falcon is still in with a big chance...
