[Shotimes] Ford and Yamaha are at it AGAIN!

[Ron Porter]

Let's hope that Ford lets Yamaha design & build the entire motor.....the
last hybrid Ford/Yamaha had issues!!

I doubt they have a manual tranny in the XC90, but if the motor makes it's
way to other Volvos, they will need a manual tranny to satisfy the non-US
market.

Yes folks, Yamaha will build another V8 for Ford, well Volvo... It will be a
4.4L V8, released initially in the XC90, then possibly into other platforms.
Remember, the Ford Five-Hundred is based upon the Volvo V70/S80. Maybe there
is hope yet. Plus, Ford will also have a new 6-speed automatic in the
Five-Hundred.
