No dates are available yet but it looks like Donlen put up some estimates. This is good info.

This is just a guess, but I think we could be looking at a situation where Ford still can't get parts (batteries) to meet demand, in which case they will continue 2008 production as a subsequent run occurring after the summer break. I'll bet they already have enough orders in hand for it.

I agree with whoever said resources are going to the Fusion as a priority right now. That's important.
