Thanks. I opened this thread for a reason . . . there is a rumor in the air.

May just be that though . . . a rumor.

The winners brand begins with an "F" but the name may not begin with a "T" . . . that's all I can say

For Ford's sake I hope it is the Mustang. Since Ford doesn't have the top seller in this segment anymore the trophy should make them feel better.

Canuck,

Side bar and I must have been asleep, but I did not notice you are an owner of a 2009 Cadillac CTS DI V6. How do you like it and what options and color did you purchase?

I don't think the Mustang's qualified enough for this title. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a real new-for-2010 model, like the Taurus, Camaro, or Lacrosse.
