Originally posted by IanD: I think Contour is a sweet name, but Mystique is kinda wierd, and I heard people say "Mercury Mistake"... They should've kept the Contour/Mystique alive instead of selling the lame looking cheap Focus. I would take the Contour anyday over a Focus. Even the Contour GL looks better than the base model Focus. This is what the Contour would've looked like if it was still here??? personally i like calling my car a modeo in an euopean accent it just sounds classy wanna go for a ride in the mondeo ehh seriously i love every thing about te mondeo including the fact that theres a diesil option i like diesils 1996 zetec atx 19.3381 at 71.51 mph 1/4 mile click me for an interesting site a wbsite you should check outjoined the 100k+ club 5/21/06

Originally posted by 1FASTDAD: Originally posted by GS474: theres a diesil option i like diesils Yeah..there fuggin mod friendly Wesley not only that granted the fuel cost a little more but your getting 50% more economy out of it alot of company's are considering putting diesils in cars around 2007 but ford should have been ahead on this i don't know if this apply's to much but heres a shot Quote: I found this interesting tid-bit of info on another site and not sure where it come from or how much truth there is to it, maybe someone here can help with this. Mercedes-Benz may be the first automaker to reveal an aggressive North American strategy for diesel engines, but it probably wonâ�?��?�t be the last. More fuel-saving diesel engines are expected to be introduced starting around 2007. Thatâ�?��?�s because low-sulfur diesel fuel â�?��?� with 15 parts per million of sulfur instead of the current 500 parts per million â�?��?� will become available nationwide in the fall of 2006. The change will help diesels meet stricter emissions standards. Hereâ�?��?�s the diesel outlook for several automakers: â�?��?� BMW: The X5 SUV will get a diesel in the 2007 model. â�?��?� Chrysler group: A new diesel-powered version of the Jeep Liberty is selling above expectations. DaimlerChrysler is considering diesels for the Chrysler 300 sedan and Jeep Grand Cherokee. â�?��?� Ford Motor Co.: Ford has formed a North American diesel team that is integrating diesels into cars and trucks. The Ford F-150 pickup and Focus sedan are candidates for a diesel. â�?��?� General Motors: Charles Freese, GMâ�?��?�s head of diesel engineering, says light trucks and SUVs will be the focus of the companyâ�?��?�s diesel efforts. Meanwhile, GM is limited in the number of Duramax V-8 truck diesels it can build at its capacity-constrained Moraine, Ohio, engine plant. GM could source smaller displacement diesels from Europe. â�?��?� Honda: A diesel Accord is being considered for North America. â�?��?� Nissan: The Titan pickup is a strong candidate for a diesel, either from a U.S. engine source, such as International Truck and Engine Corp., or from Japan. â�?��?� Toyota: The Tundra pickup is considered a likely candidate for a diesel. Toyotaâ�?��?�s diesel plans should be clearer once production starts at its San Antonio truck plant next spring. ******Btw mods you may move this to the Ford vs forum if you feel it would be better suited there. Thanks http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=389592 but that deals with trucks though but once we get there smaller version hopfully will migrate to the cars 1996 zetec atx 19.3381 at 71.51 mph 1/4 mile click me for an interesting site a wbsite you should check outjoined the 100k+ club 5/21/06
