fastball:
Duly noted re fires and axels. We'll ... get around to Quality someday.
It IS Job #1.
1) We're working on it man, we're working on it! The new Übertec 3.5 or whatever we call it is coming to market, it's coming to market... it'll be coming to da market when it comes!!!
2) Elena Ford says no. She likes the Mariner. All women like the Mariner. It's a bad-woman-driver hypnosis device.
3) If we keep Wixom open, we'll have a quality plant to build Lincoln Future. If not, we'll figure out how to stuff FWD and AWD "Lincolns" (i.e. the Zephyr) wherever we can. Eh, how about Avon Lake Truck! Now that's a REAL Lincoln plant!

h:
Oh, and get on the clue train, the LS has left the station. Forever!
You really want the new Zephyr with 221 hp though. We know it, you want it. No, you can't hook your iPod to it, it's not a "youth" model.
