I like that Ford is proceeding with all three strategies, in high tax Europe diesels
make perfect sense, urban drivers may prefer hybrids but I think the majority
of buyers will love the torque and performace that Ecoboost petrols bring.

First I've heard of Active Grille Shutter system.

Sounds a bit ****y at first, but I can see benefits, if it adds minimal weight. Quicker warm up, reduced drag (until our Oz summer keeps it open permanently ).

While I can't go past the I6 ,especially boosted, the EcoBoost is sounding better and better for base model chooktins for power AND economy.

With BLIS etc, Looks like it's getting Taurus technology ( which got it from Volvo, who I think originated it's D3 platform). Strange to see media making a big deal about Taurus being our next Falcon, when Mondeo is large enough to be incorporated into the next platform aswell.
