I'm a little worried about the mod motors period. I would be willing to bet money that the only reason the Mustang is still be rumored to get them in 2003 instead of the 3.9L V-8 is because of the F series. No other cars in Ford's linuep uses the mod engines anymore, and Ford being the cheapasses they've become would never justify the use of an entire line of engines for 1 model.

Ford needs some marketing people, and in a bad way. Look at all the European compitition. They are all front engine, rear wheel drive for luxury and high class luxury/sport. Why can't make a RWD Crown Vic (different name?) to compete with those cars? It's all marketing. GM can't do it with their Cadallac line because they can't build a quality rwd luxury car with performance.
