Ford Needs Pepper

To kick it up a notch! Bam!*
The Detroit News reports: Ford acts to rev up stalled turnaround. Oh, Ford. Must we explain everything to you? Here's what you do:

1. Get that friggin 3.5 liter V-6 out the door.
2. Install it in every Ford that it will fit.
3. Profit.

"Oh," says lame-ass Ford, "We don't want to hurt sales of the Lincoln Z thing.... Or whatever we changed the Zephyr's name to."
"Bah!" says Cars! Cars! Cars! newly-formed engineering staff. "Nissan uses its 3.5 liter in: Altima, Maxima, 350z, Infiniti I35 (discontinued), G-line... maybe more and they've been fine. Well, their sales are down lately, but it's not because of the engine."
"Oh yeah, fancy boys?" yells Ford, "Then why are the sales down?"
Cars! Cars! Cars! carefully explains, "It's Ghosn's hair products. They are affecting his thinking. Why else would he partner with GM?"
"Ha!" laughs Ford.
"Now put that fancy V-6 in everything!" Cars! Cars! Cars! says.
"We don't think so. We're scared." Ford says shyly.
Cars! Cars! Cars! walks over to another part of the room, opens a door, and says, "Ford, meet Eva." You'll need to scroll to the Schadenfreude post to understand this extremely lame reference.

*So we're a little late on the cultural references! We know Emiril's what, 450 pounds now and the only kicking up of notches he's doin' is buying the bigger bag of pork rinds but it still applies here. Sorta. We wonder if Alison eats pork rinds. And if she gets all greasy and slick and stuff. That'd rock.
