Lose the halo vehicles and I'm sure you can cut emissions down by %50 or more. No more SVT crap.

Uh,
That's a joke right? You really think halo cars, from any company, much less Ford make up any noticable difference in overall fleet fuel economy?
Get real.

Uhm... yes. Considering that SVT vehicles, mustangs, lightnings, and the GT account for 46% of Ford's sales. Yes, yes I am serious. Perhaps "halo" was the wrong word.
I only say rid these cars b/c, unfortunately, laborers and backwoods people still need trucks.

Mustangs, Lightnings and GT's make up 40% of Ford's sales???? Care to actually back that claim up with a link and some facts. Last I checked Mustang sales were in the toilet and they weren't making Lightnings and GT's anymore. If Ford had 40% of it's sales coming from these things it would be phenomenally profitable.
Let me help you out...
