Agreed. I think one thing ppl keep forgetting is that the 5.0 is slated (according to latest "rumor") to replace all 4.6 duties within Ford's lineup. Becoming a mainstream, multi-platform motor means the costs will be much lower than if it were a specialty performance-only motor produced in limited quantities. Ford is in no shape to produce two V8's to occupy the same segment duties. The 5.0 will replace the 4.6 and some of the 5.4 applications, and the new 6.2 will replace the remainder of the 5.4 duties.

If the Coyote doesn't end up costing significantly more to produce (which it shouldn't) and turns out to be as capable as we've been hearing.....it WILL be the smartest move Ford has made since they dropped the old 5.0 back in 96.
