In fact, Conlon is so confident of the Transit Connect Taxi package – which goes into production and arrives in dealerships later this year – he's already put in an order for 25 units.

What drove Conlon's decision – and is driving interest among other taxi companies – is the Transit Connect's alternative fuel engine prep package, which enables conversion to efficient, clean-burning compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane (LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas).

Last week Bank of America -- Merrill Lynch published its annual 'Car Wars' report by analyst John Murphy. 'Car Wars' assesses the relative strength of automakers' product pipeline in the U.S. The purpose is to quantify industry product trends and then relate the findings to investment decisions. In this year's report Murphy noted Ford (F) and Honda (HMC) would have the biggest market share gains between now and 2013. Below Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, shares some insight into the report with @Ford.

Q: Ford has changed its strategy regarding vehicle "freshenings." How are they different from those of the past?
A: For over 5 years, first in Europe and then globally, we have been using the Average Age of our line-up in our dealers' showrooms in each region as one of the most important metrics of our cycle plan. Consistent with the view of the authors of the "Car Wars" study, we believe Average Age to be strongly correlated to customers' consideration of our vehicles in their purchase decisions and ultimately market share.

By focusing on this metric, we have moved from the worst in Average Age in the "Car Wars" study to among the best over the past 3 years. This improvement was accomplished by implementing a regular freshening cadence for our vehicles. Typically, our cars and crossovers are all-new to our customers every 3-4 years. Trucks are on a longer cycle, consistent with customer expectations and the competitive environment.

In the past, a mid-cycle freshening may have been as limited as a grille and headlamp update. Now the 10MY update of the Fusion and the MKZ or the coming 11MY freshening of the Edge and the MKX are more representative. These freshened vehicles are all-new to customers with:

• at-a-glance, exciting interior and exterior changes,
• upgraded, more fuel efficient powertrains,
• new, innovative and useful features and technologies, and
• immediately noticeable improvements in craftsmanship, quietness, and steering/handling.
