GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - Is Huntsman Dead? Ford Rethinking It's RWD Future

I am really, really looking forward to Ford's GWRD products.

I was so pleased that Ford announced it was proceeding with a new RWD program. It was, and is, a true "Bold Move", particularly in the light of GM's totally pathetic (and sadly characteristic) dithering on Zeta over the last four years . . . on-off, on-off, definitely on . . . nope, maybe . . . nah, not at all, actually . . . . what a crock.

I just hope and pray that GWRD can survive the present fuel prices (a scam of titanic proportions).

I understand that GWRD will replace the Panther, Orion/Huntsman and Mustang platforms, and has assumed even more importance as a basis for high-end product following the departure of Jaguar and the possible sale of Volvo.

What models can we expect, Igor? I've even heard rumours of a Thunderbird.

GO FORD!
