The new models will be accompanied by a new EcoBoost engine, as well as expanded use of start/stop technology and driver assistance technologies. This kind of launch is possible, without the need for resorting to the kind of half-assed badge engineering of years past, thanks to the new global strategy. 16 of these vehicles, including the new Mustang, Transit, Transit Connect and Lincoln MKC, will be heading to the US. Look for several of these important debuts to happen just next month, at the Detroit Auto Show.
