[2001 ZTS]

As far as I'm told, there will be FIVE SVT models.

We already have two:
- 2007 Shelby Cobra GT500 (already knew about that one back in 2004)
- 2008 Sport Trac Adrenalin

It's been more-or-less publicized that the next SVT would be the Fusion. So, that should debut in 2008. In the meantime, the AWD Fusion should come out in 2007, and the 2008 may see the hybrid.

That leaves two SVT's unnamed. Assuming the Focus/Focus-replacement goes to the C1 platform in 2007, then an SVT version would follow suit in 2009. I'm going to venture a guess an SVT crossover would be the fifth vehicle.

As for gas, I'm already spending $$$ (those who know my driving). I'm just glad I drive a 4-banger.

Too little to late, besides nobody would pay what the buy in would be given Ford's rep/history. They're doomed as a company no matter what they do.
