I believed most of your thoughts are "spot on" and I agree.
I woulld also add a new Mustang based, retro style Mercury Cougar. As it was 40 years ago this would be an up-scale version of the RWD Stang and it would now compete with the G35, IS350, and BMW 3 series.
I would also produce the REFEX with Bio-Diesel Hybred - 65 MPG. They would not be able to produce these fast enough to meet demand!
Ford just needed to up-date the RWD Lincoln LS - it was a great car and with a freshening it could easily go up against the BMW 5 series and the GS300/400 class.
Ford really just needs to got for it with in-your-face American bold styling (as in the 427 concept) and not water down the products as to not offend anyone.
Also - all of these products should be offered with a reasonable choice of engines (small-medium-large). They should also be offered with Bio-Diesel Hybrids that get 60 MPG to over 80 MPG.
Ford would be making a lot of $$$$$. Let's hope they are able to find the one thing they have been missing for a couple of decades - and that is PASSION, PASSION, PASSION for great cars!!!!
