"postponed" until at least 2008.

The current Lightning is rated at 12 mpg city, 16 mpg highway. That's pretty bad and gas prices keep going up I can see the logic but it sucks cause they are so bad @ss

Did it mention the '06 Cobra being held until '07, I don't really care for lightnings, but I'd like to see the Cobra to keep on going.

Looks like Dodge holds the fastest truck record until 2008

Just means that it'll probably be even better when it does come out. They were gone for a few years before the current one came out, and look at what a success that is.

NOOOOOOO i love the lighting and i was so pumped for the new one to come out. what the hell is ford thinking? that concept was so badass with so many inovations and i cant belive they would axe it

It sounds as if cutting the Lightning pushed the Cobra up a year, which is a good thing... so there's a silver lining to this cloud.
