Ford gets new 3.5 Liter V-6 and 6-Speed Automatic Transmission

Ford gets two new products that should help its competitiveness greatly.

The first is a modern 3.5 liter V-6. It was lack of an engine like this that resulted in the Ford 500 being generally deemed a "good car, but underpowered".

The second product is a 6-speed automatic transmission. Although the article doesn't say so, this is apparently the transmission that Ford worked on with General Motors (Yep!). Ford currently has 6-speed automatic transmissions in some of its models but they are (as far as I know) sourced from third parties.
