	Preview: 2006 Ford Futura Car Reviews - The Car Connection
		"Futura will be that rare mid-size sedan that oozes style but doesn't sacrifice roominess, comfort, trunk space - or affordability," said Ford's design director, J Mays.
		Ford sources also hint larger displacement gasoline engines are likely to be added to the Futura option list, possibly including a high-performance package that could carry the coveted SVT badge.
		Ford isn't yet saying where the Futura will be produced, though it could very well go into the other Taurus plant in Atlanta, one of the most efficient assembly lines in the company's production network.

	Ford Truck World -- THE REVOLUTION UNDER THE HOOD AT FORD: BETTER PERFORMANCE & FUEL ECONOMY, REDUCED EMISSIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Ford Motor Company’s newest innovation is the 5.4-liter Triton V-8 engine, which uses three valves per cylinder — two intake and one exhaust — along with variable-cam timing and other technologies to deliver a new level of performance and refinement.
		Ford’s new 6.0-liter Power Stroke Diesel engine was introduced earlier this year on the popular F-Series Super Duty line of trucks and will replace the well-regarded 7.3-liter Power Stroke in the E-Series Super Duty lineup in the 2004 model year, offering even more power with better response and quieter operation.
		Ford leads the way in small-diesel technology in the European market and is studying diesel options in North America, such as offering a diesel-powered Ford Focus within the next five years.

	Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan - CarSpace Automotive Forums
		Futura was originally the name of a concept vehicle from way back when.
		Ford will be using quite a bit of F names on their cars, while SUV's will take the E names.
		What I am saying is that if Ford doesnt look to significantly advance the science/art of midsize vehicle design and manufacturing, by the time the Futura is out, they will likely be behind the 8 ball after only 1 short year.

	Road Test Review: 2006 Ford Futura Sprint GT/A Wagon - Road Tests - Car and DriverJune 2006
		What’s important about the Futura Sprint is that wagons are apparently again in vogue, despite the best efforts of Detroit marketers, who have, in recent years, applied the term “crossover” to so many models that the transgender community raised holy hell from Cleveland to Cedar Point.
		The Futura Sprint is powered by a Mazda-derived narrow-angle Miller-cycle 3.0-liter V-6 — a lot to spit out every time you open the hood — which is curious not only for its boxer-like growl but also for producing more horsepower than torque from 2800 to 4250 rpm.
		The Futura Sprint resembles — in size and aspect, in warp and weave, in tone and tenor — nothing so much as a Mazda 6 wagon, although onlookers are quick to fixate on the Ford’s single door on the passenger side and its dual doors on the driver’s side, one of which opens suicide-style.

	Ford Fusion - Wikicars
		The Fusion was originally to be called the Ford Futura, but Ford lost a trademark lawsuit to the Pep Boys auto parts store, which has a line of tires under the Futura brand.
		Still that didn't prevent Ford from duplicating the name of the European Fusion, a mini-Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) based on the Ford Fiesta, slotted between the Fiesta and the Focus.
		This is the first time that Ford has introduced a new model that went racing in NASCAR at the same time as its launch since the Ford Torino in 1968.

	Batmobile, Lincoln Futura
		The next two pics are of the Futura at the 1955 Chicago Auto Show where she got her own special enclosure to keep the overly curious at a safe distance (tho a few VIPs got to sample the seating).
		The Futura is seen in the middle picture at the left rear of the display, under the brightest lights.
		And I can agree, that given control over the Futura's life from day 1, I would have liked it to be preserved in it's original state as a rolling testimony to technological and styling ingenuity.

		Didn't know Ford was still using the Fairmont nameplate anymore, but they must be since you have one.
		Like I said, the Fairmont was a model Ford had in the USA back in the late 70's to early 80's.
		I think Ford did away with the US version when they came out with the Taurus model, but I'm not really a Ford historian so I probably don't have the facts correct.
