WOW that is dumb, expensive and too complicated all at once ..

TomTom and Google in the meantime simply have a link that starts your TomTom Home application and uploads the new location into your connected GPS .. backwards compatible, instantaneous, and no need to pay for MS Spot.

@Heep: EEE - wrong - US is getting the sedan and the 5door.

@rlj676: the Fusion will debut an all new System not related to the Escape System.

Igor

Since the article came out, it was confirmed from inside sources - not official ones - the REDESIGNED Fusion will debut in Detroit. The Hybrid will either be along its side, or in New York.

Igor

umm.. good morning welcome to 5 months ago .. the 08 CV is fleet only and is not on Fordvehicles.com anymore.

it will be available to fleets until the new RWD sedan comes online between 2010 and 2012.

Igor

I'll go with "boys" - Aston it is .. I am not mature enough to resist the urge to own an Aston...

Skoda? Unless some of their pre-60's models were FR - they were Rear engined, RWD from the 60's through the the 80's and then went FWD and eventually switched to VW platforms. They did develop an FR sedan in the 60's or 70's but it never went to production - only 3 were built and only one still exists.

Also Tatra - they were RR all the way until they nixed cars and just built trucks.

Igor

so my first comment did not show up:
@sandwich_pants:
The BOSS is an 2V SOHC V8. It is not very revolutionary. It will mostly just catch up Ford to the competition that has broken the 400hp barrier quite a while back, while Ford was asleep.

PS - Ray - Thanks a lot for picking this up - any more traffic to Autosavant.net is appreciated.
you might also be interested in my coverage of the 2009 Fusion:

More is forthcoming.

PS: Ray - I know I am enthusiastic about upcoming Fords, but it was not THAT biased .. I just let others cover most of the bad news ;) I try to be reasonable though - as the second half of the sub-headline says: "but not all goodies will be available at launch"
