"the v-6 will live on in the FOCUS"

Actaully the Mazda 6 coming this fall is going to have a new improved Duratech V6 in it. It is the spiritual successor to the Contour and will be made into a new mid size car for Ford. It also will be used for the next generation Mondeo.

So, it is coming back, IMHO> wink

2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!
