This rumor has been going around for the past 6-months (at least). If this is true or will be true anytime in the near future, I guess I need to call ASAP to get my SVT certificate on my Focus.

And people wonder why GM and Ford are going belly up....... look at the cars they produce over seas they don't bring to the US. Sad sad sad.

It wouldn't matter if Bush was running the company or not, times are changing and we need to wake up, realize and adapt.

The US needs to change the way it thinks and does business with other countries, other countries need to change the way they think and do business with the US. It is happening.

GM tried that and failed horibly with the GTO.

A turbo or AWD anything from SVT would be sweet, but I dont think thats going to happen. Even if they stayed in business. Or if Ford could murge SVT and FPV and put something nasty together. One can always wish.....

I honestly don't think they are going anywhere. There's no reason to-

They make the cars, people buy them- end of story. Perhaps the price will go up or some revamping will be done, but no shutting doors.
