Wow, Ford is at 6.90 dollars a share!!! Thats amazing.
Anyway, big push for the E85 V6 and V8's as well as the new AFM set up for the 3.9. The Greenline Vue is also a good deal, but the big ticket is the 2-Mode system coming for the 900 SUV's and Trucks.

Sounds like some good things coming. Can't wait to see how they do on the market...
