The actual platform CD3, derived from the Mazda6, and which is used in Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX and Mercury Milan has reached his end. It will be replaced by the platform used in the New Mondeo and will be used in the next Ford Fusion. This new platform will be called CD4 and the next Fusion( the 2013 model) will arrive in the U.S. in the 2012. They want to maximize engineering and manufacturing efficiency by creating several global platform models.

The next-gen Ford Focus might get a new engine. While the EcoBoost Series gets a 3.5L V6 Engine in 2009 the same technology may be used in a smaller package like a 1.6L turbocharged 4 Cylinders with direct injection. The engine will deliver up to 180 horsepower with enough torque to send you through the driver`s seat when you press the throttle. They say that this engine will give up to 43 mpg in the highway. The engine could debut with dual clutch gearbox and most likely will debut in 2010 offering 25% fuel efficiency over the standard 2.0L engine.

The designer of the Ford GT is leaving after 24 years being employed at Ford. Pardo confirmed the rumors about he leaving but didn`t said why. We think he left because in the last year instead of designing cars Ford asked him to design side mirrors.  It surely is a great loss for Ford and we hope the best for Camilo.
