Ford-Branded Products
-No word on a next-gen Fiesta or Focus yet, as the cars enter the final few years of their product life. The Focus RS is about to hit the streets in the next few weeks.
-Fusion may be getting a ST treatment for the 2017-18 MY. 400 HP and AWD is rumored, as well as the 2.3L EcoBoost. This rumor is less likely, however. The Fusion is also slated to be redesigned for the 2017 or 2018 MY.
-The next-generation Taurus will move to a modified Fusion platform. A new Taurus for China has already been revealed,
-A refreshed Escape has just been revealed.
-The fate of the Flex has yet to be determined.
-With the continuation of the Navigator (see below), the Expedition received a redesign and will use the EcoBoost V6. Because the 2015 F-150 frame was not ready in time when the development started on the new Expy, the big beast will soldier on with the existing platform until 2018. There is no V8 option currently.
-The New Super Duty Has been revealed.

THE LINCOLN REVIVAL
-A RWD Lincoln coupe will spawn from the Mustang's platform. Expect it to release in the 2019-2020 MY. It will be built at the Flat Rock assembly plant along-side the 2015 Mustang. Design started last year.
-The Navigator will no longer be a tarted-up Expedition by 2018, it will be designed and constructed by Lincoln for the first time in the 'Gator's history. The expected engine lineup is the EcoBoost V6 and a new EcoBoost V8. For 2018 it will be on the new F-150's platform. and will also use an extensive amount of aluminum body paneling. A Vista-style glass roof will be making it on to the Navi. Despite the monstrous power available, it will still have class-leading FE. This will not be a cheap truck, it is going to be in the leagues of the Range Rover with the Navi's style and luxury.
-The new MKX is hitting the streets as we speak.
-The Aviator is now expected to make a revival as an Explorer-based mid-size SUV. The moniker "MKA" was recently trademarked by Ford.
-There have been rumors of a Focus-based compact car, but the rumors have been debunked.
-MKT is going to be axed soon.
-The Lincoln MKZ has been refreshed for 2017. A performance model is going to have around 400 HP and AWD.
-The Continental will replace the MKS.
-A 3.0L EB TTV6 (based on the 2.7L EB) is being developed, with power rivaling the current 3.5L EB. Coming with it is a nine-speed automatic co-developed by GM and Ford. This will be a Lincoln-exclusive powertrain.
-Lincoln will be releasing two all-new cars by 2020, one being a replacement for the MKT (see Aviator). The other may be the Mustang coupe.
