this snippet is a change of pace for me, but close to my heart as i’m from the motor city and my family works for ford. ford is finally getting it proverbial head out of the ground and is phasing out the taurus and sable. i’ve always wondered when ford was going to attack the car market again. they’ve been all over the pick-up and suv market for over ten years. so much so that it’s now their bread and butter and with this new economy people can’t afford those behemoths and folks are now looking too smaller more cost effective vehicles. this article also overviews the vehicles ford is replacing these models with and has pictures of the upcoming five hundred and freestyle. my buddy mike is working on part of the design of the freestyle and it sounds like it’s going to be a pretty sweet wagon. i still haven’t found any pictures of the upcoming futura, which is the third car they are coming out with, but i’m sure i’ll find one soon. amy and i are planning on replacing one of our cars in a few years and it’s nice to know we have options in the home team (aka ford) and not just the european cars. being that i’m from a ford family i don’t ever see myself driving a asian car or truck.
