[Shotimes] OT Ford's Future Plans for 500 and performance cars

[Kerby Haltom]

The 500 and the "Crosstrainer", now to be called the "Freestyle" are to be 
built on a modified Volvo S80 platform.  Which is one reason they will be a 
bit pricey.  It is apparently not a cheap platform to build.

And the next question is, why does Ford care what the aftermarket is 
already making?  If they did, all of their cars would come with a small 
block Chevy engine in it.
