Ford shows off its ‘10 lineup

Ford Motor Co., in the middle of launching 10 new or redesigned vehicles this year, said Tuesday it intends to maintain a similar pace for the foreseeable future.

This year, Ford is introducing an all-new Ford Taurus and nine other models that will reduce the average age of its product lineup to 2.4 years, according to a recent Merrill Lynch report.

“Our intention is to maintain that freshness and that product age,” Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s group vice president of global product development said in Dearborn today.
