Hey guyz, I've been looking for some info on the return of the t-bird, but can't find any info on the web, except for an article posted in 2008. Anything current?
thanks,

My personal feeling is...we're not done with the "Retro-party" yet...no need to bring in a new model. Once you've been to a TBN gathering, there's no need for anything else!

JMHO.

From the Mustang Forums:

"I just got back from a Ford parts and service meeting last night in Waco. It was sponsored by ford's Field Service Engineer program. It was pretty freakin' cool. During the course of the meeting, they had a slide show for upcoming new platforms for vehicles. One in particular caught my eye. it was for the 2011 MY Mustang GT. The confirmed motor in this thing is Called the "coyote" motor.
The thing is, it. It is the 5.0 TiVCT 32v motor. Stock, the thing puts out 400 hp, and 375 tq. It has 11:1 compression, and a redline of 7000 rpm. This IS confirmed to be in that car. They also had pictures of this thing crammed into the engine bay. Keep in mind, that motor will take the place of the current 3v 4.6 281's. Ford is FINNALY phazing that motor out.
The other motor that they are putting on the assembly line, is the 6.2 Boss V8. There is no current platform for this motor, but it is confirmed that it will not go into a f series truck. It very well could end up being a strictly SVT motor for a cobra. The 6.2 has a very low compression ratio, and dual sparkplugs per cylinder. The horsepower in for that motor is 375hp, and 410 tq. seems perfect for a blown, or turbo application.
Either way, the next few years will be pretty exciting!"

I'll bet you need a wide angle lens to see the whole engine...

Just as long as it isn't a hybrid ... News Note in this week's edition of AutoWeek reports that GM is considering a future hybrid Corvette to meet federally mandated mpg requirements ...

Is that an oxymoron? Corvette and Hybrid in the same sentence???

How about the Fusion Sport, or the new Taurus SHO?? Both are great cars with good press, and owner, reviews.
