Mercury Sable and Taurus X dead next year? {Autoblog}
Aug 11th 2008 11:26AM once again, a good lineup for the "new" Mercury:
- Euro Ford Ka, with a small, turbocharged engine;
- Euro Ford Focus CC
- a new, compact RWD family (hatchback, sedan & break), Focus-sized and built under Mustang's platform, with Volvo turbocharged 2.0-2.5 liter engines;
- a retro-styled hot hatch (think of a 40's Mercury gaining the HHR and PT Cruiser treatment) built on the New Focus platform and using the Volvo turbos as well;
- Euro Ford Kuga;
- Australian Ford Falcon.

Lancia's own version of 8C Competizione to spearhead rejuvenation {Autoblog}
Feb 4th 2008 6:37PM I would love, I mean, L-O-V-E, to see Lancia (my favourite European brand) born again. All these plans look so good, but why not to build a RWD, V8 successor for the Thesis, once Fiat builds no big saloons and the Alfa 169 is bound to be more sporty? it would be the car of my dreams, specially if it keeps the wonderful upholstery and plastics of the Thesis...
