Boss is already on the way, they have 2 diesels for trucks and both are IN-HOUSE, expanded V6 lineup? oh yea just like GM's idiotic...err chaotic V6 lineup, I think the D35 architecture is fine and with the D37 it will be complete. Platforms? B2 (New Fiesta/New MZ2), C2 (upcoming unified Focus) and EUCD2 (upcoming mid/fullsize platform) are coming, The B2 is already here (Mazda 2) add to that the newly confirmed Huntsman platform to underpin every RWD FLM cars, yes this finally includes the panthers, this is it at last. They don't have the cashflow? umm they bet the farm at the end of 2005, I can imagine they burned 22Bil during ONE YEAR.
The Modular engines aren't impressive, but the Twin Force are and they're going to kick ass.
