I read in an August Autoweek that it's now going to stick around until at least 2009 with a new revision in 2006. Ford has apparently changed their plans to only sell it as a "fleet-vehicle" car. I'm honestly not sure how it will fit into the gameplan now with the Futura and the 500 smothering it...maybe it'll have the same 'rock in a hard place' that the Contour did. I hope not though.
