Nothing wrong with pushrods. The 'pushrod tractor engine' was viewed as equal or better to the BOSS 5.4s. If it ain't broke why fix it?

The model lineups are confusing, there's an XR , GS , GT , GTE , G8 Force 8 and the specter of a GTHO. Black edition , R spec and combinations in between as the models get rationalized.

Meanwhile....the red team have a solid line up with incremental technologies that are attractive for their punters and sway them to upgrade en masse.

At Ford.....we harken back to the past to help sell cars to nostalgic old fools.
At HSV ....they look forward to to help sell cars to savvy young execs and middle class BOGAN rich.

The majority demographic is not on Ford's side..........
^^ is on to something there too.
