Ford is 110% onboard with the death of the gas engined car In fact they want to kill the "car" all together in favor of SUV like passenger pods. Never mind there will never be a cheaper cleaner fuel in the near future.
An F150 was on my radar. Not some POS ecoboost V6 but a real V8 loafing along towing our travel trailer or race car. Now it's not going to happen. They spray the cylinder liners in - just like Chevy sprayed the pistons of the Vega. Looks like it will have be a Chevy with a dead reliable LS and real cast iron cylinder liners. That is if you can change the headlights without needing to replace the whole $600 housing because they have sealed in LED bulbs like on the Volt.
