What is the EN/FN? Crown Vic/Town Car?

If Ford is working on a D2C sedan, then are they just sandbagging with their front/AWD comments? I suppose that could be, but with the news from down under and now their latest public comments, it seems that any D2C sedan work is very preliminary.

I can't really blame him, because that's his department. By all accounts, there's a good case being made from a cost standpoint, but the word also is that the D2C is favored.
