Ford should've done something ten years ago. Their reputation for building cars nobody wants (Mustang and F150 excepted) has done permanent damage. It may be too late regardless of what comes out of Dearborn, unless it is spectacular. "Good enough" ain't good enough.

Last I heard the Hurricane engine program was cancelled, as was the Boss. Of course that was a while ago - has anything changed since?

Hurricane program was cancelled because of the costs associated with diesels being involved.  Canceled the diesel versions and the program was much cheaper.  BOSS motors will be 6.2 liters and have a potential for 500 spower N/A.  Also will have MDS for improved fuel economy.

Cool. Hopefully it'll turn out true and Ford won't cancel it. It's nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel...
