Fords going to make it to 2011 but sadly the F-100 isnt. They scraped it for the F-150 SVT Raptor.

I was pretty sure that I read that they were postponing it for awhile. Maybe I dreampt that one up.

As for it being on the website as a 2010 model, I couldn't find it anywhere on the the Ford Motor site or the SVT site.

The Raptor isn't going anywhere, it's being produced. If you move the 2009 F-150 forum, there is a recent thread posted by a fella that saw one the other day.

I'm more interested n the F-100 and a Bronco twin. The Raptor can go away as far as I'm concerned.

That said I think it would be great if Bill Ford went incognito and lived in several parts of the country for 6 months, during that time he could attend sporting events Races, baseball games hockey games (come on I am Canadian after all) and football games as well as malls and vintage car shows.

He should eat at Dennys and Mcdonalds Pizza Hut and TGFI fridays and some of the local home town dinners.

He should get to know America and Americans and see and drive what they are driving used to drive and are looking to drive in the future.

Then he should go back home and think about his little adventure for another month, don't rush it.

Then he should let folks know in a press conference that he has lived amongst them and has gotten to know them and (middle America) the most valuable resource in America and that he is now ready to like his Great grampa build autos they can all be proud of and want to buy.


I know I'm a dreamer, but i think Bill Ford has it in him.

As I said I think that the Ford executive is too far removed from middle America and it's people.

The biggest part of the problem as I see it is the numbers(money) has become more important than the product, that I'm afraid is all too true of many businesses.


I think the goal has to be the betterment of society not just profit margins I know that sounds socialist but really I think it is more survivalist, communism has been proven that it cannot and does not work so maybe we could try humanism for a while.:confused:

I know I know a little :-offtopic but i think most folks that travel these boards are intelligent enough to mull over these radical rantings of a neighbourly Canuk:-missingt

Really the spelling is Canadian, France is a country in Europe I believe.
