A specialized off road Explorer with a more powerful engine and a safari feel would be cool. That said something called the Mustang SVT would be nice. It could have the same engine as the GT500 except not supercharged. There are lots of things they could do. They just need to be willing to fail a few times.

However, SVT will be less prominent in the immediate future. “We are not going to do everything we want to do,� he admitted.]

WTF? If that isn’t the most wishy washy decision, I don’t know what is. It still leaves the gate open to either killing the entire division or keeping it alive based on sales. Again I say to Bill, Mark, and Hau: Make up your F U C K I N G minds and either commit and grow the brand or not. Mercede’s AMG and BMW’s M didn’t get to where they are now because of such statements.

Hell, I’ve always like Ford over GM (and believe me, I hate GM) but at least GM is making some pretty clear statements about how they are moving forward — much moreso than Ford. Fields should learn something from Lutz. Shame on the Dearborn guys.
