Questions, comments, snide remarks? Please, tell us what's on your mind by filling out a form and dropping it in the suggestion box on your wait out the door. While such items may be rather common at certain retail establishments, finding such a direct line to the people that run America's largest automotive companies... well, that's just a new idea entirely, no?

Today at the SAE World Congress, Mark Fields, Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) president of the Americas, announced just such a program, which includes a new web portal that allows consumers to leave suggestions for the Ford Motor Company and even lets other users log in and rate the submitted ideas. Currently at the top? A suggestion to bring the ECOnetic diesel engines to America. Agree? Click here (http://www.thefordstory.com/your-ideas/) to let Ford know what you think.

We'll throw a vote in the direction of more diesels in America any day of the week. And as long as we've Ford's attention, how about offering rally-spec Focus (http://autoblog.com/model/focus) hatchbacks in the States? We'd also be more than happy to see a Super High Output version of the Fusion (http://autoblog.com/model/fusion), complete with the 365-horsepower EcoBoost engine and all-wheel drive system from the Taurus SHO (http://www.autoblog.com/model/taurus+sho). Oh, and just one more thing... nice work on the SVT Raptor (http://www.autoblog.com/model/raptor). Click past the break for the complete press release.

A very good source of information for thoughts on Ford product ideas. I've used this site before through the Ford Story off the main Ford vehicles page.
