I know there are some out there who aren't fans of Ford, but personally I like all American cars. Anyway, I also know a lot of you are fans of gaming. The term "easter egg" refers to a hidden message in a video game, put there just for fun. Ford has taken this a step further with what could be the first easter egg in a car engine:

Cool but I have to comment on this quote from the write up

Quote:
Of course, if they were so confident we're not sure why they seem to be holding back on marketing it as the "Boss."

Um hello could it be because they don't want to damage their new "green" image? Only enthusiests really care and once the enthusiest knows it's there that's all it needs. No need to put it in the face of every potential customer.

agreed, its not the 60's anymore. Yet another reassurance that Ford knows what theyre doing, unlike Chrysler and ,to an extent, GM

I love the first comment

"The next engine says" QUICK BACK TO WORK!


btw, I saw Chrysler's slideshow of their 5 year plan and I have to say it looked impressive.

But is it too little too late for a company who's reputation is severely damaged? We'll have to find out whether or not Fiat really knows what theyre doing and if all those fiat-based chryslers actually sell in this country
