I always found it odd, That Dodge used the Intrepid, they didn't even have a V8 Intrepid. And now Ford is using the Fusion. No V8 there either. BLAH

 

Add this to that list. The Lumina never had a V8, the Taurus only had one from 96-99 and it was a different engine completely, the Monte didn't receive one again until recently, nor did the Grand Prix for all of those years, etc.
