Also about the I6 thing, the original 64 1/2 stang had a straight 6? Also my new V6 i meant new displacement like a 3.5, because as it is now they are lacking with their family sedans in the power department

the only v6's/inline 6 ford cared anything about performance the yamaha tuned SHO 3.0, and 3.2 v6. beyond that, everybody knows that a 6er mustang was for the $$ concious buyer who doesnt care about numbers, but rather looks.
and american sedans have passing gear accelleration that is just fine... people buy them for thier ammeneties, not their displacement, or power over the comparing brand. thats just good economics, and good marketing.
why would ford toss the 'old' 4.6 in jag? it makes no sence to put a less powerful, heavier engine in the jag. the 3.9 does quite well.
why would ford want bigger displacements if it cost more to manufacture ... mabey....
watput... i believe the xj chassis is different the the xjr, which is aluminium.. perhaps im mistaken.
one final thing: the newer lean manufacturing processes that ford has welcomed produce amazingly rigid bodies... so rigid, in fact, that that stress points had to be re-enforced. it is becoming a clear sign of fords intentions to have overall, better autos.
