Just a Land Rover wanna-be! lol

yet it isnt the weight of a small planet, like land rovers are.

LOL!!

In a time when gas is at an all time high, and not looking to come down anytime soon, it amazes me that there are still car makers that are manufacturing big, wind resistant boxes.

you know, id sell the G and get a MB G55 in a heart beat if i could afford it. sure it has the cd of a brick wall, but damn does it look amazing when it guzzles barrels of oil. SEX.

It's nice to see Ford going the "bigger is better" route today when the population are going away from those vehicles.

[heliochrome85]

well, it isnt really since its offering the consumer a suv alternative. it gets good gas milage for its size, and has the utility people need. i applaud this move.

[audtatious]

A lot of the time it is perception. With gas prices, people will perceive "big" as bad. With the soccer-mom mentality I do hope smaller takes a bigger foothold

[heliochrome85]

agreed

How funny... personal taste is such a subjective thing. No disrespect meant, but to me, that is the ugliest MB in production.

Another FAIL by Ford

[Focusedintntions]

For a people/cargo hauler i think it'll be a smashing success. Yes i also agree that we should be making a move to smaller vehicles. Both cities and highway traffic would appease some and there'd be more parking and more gas. But fact of the matter is people will still need some large people mover for large familes and such. I think ford is taking a step in the right direction with this. Granted it's not very aero, but it looks cool. And people want something stylish that's not a minivan...even though we all know it really is...the avg consumer doesn't see it that way.

BIGWILL!! Nice to see you still floating around in here! How's the Lexus treating you?

As for that Furd thingy... it's beyond ugly to me... it's just plain fugly!!

[Slider4105]

I would think that if it comes out the same price as a Honda or Toyota minivan, then it will woo some customers away for its "stylish good looks." But if it costs anymore, I doubt many people will switch because most of the people buying a minivan aren't doing it for style.......I mean it's a minivan. Plus it's a ford....come on who really likes ford nowadays, I mean besides the trucks or all the girls who like the mustangs......cuz its a chicks car........

[heliochrome85]

i think it will win a lot of small SUV owners who need the space, dont want to drive a "van" and cant afford a bigger SUV's gas bill. it should be a smash hit.

Ugly, interior looks cheap. The rear reminds me of a bronco lol.

[heliochrome85]

how can you say cheap? they used contrast stitching on the leather. that cost ford an additional dollar per car. if it were a cheap car, ford wouldnt have even stitched it, youd have to do it yourself. it be a sew and sit seat. its nice to see Mullaly has finally shot the last of their beancounters. FINALLY.

[TeflonG35]

Speaking of ford. I would drive a ford Fusion. They look decent. Steeda has some decent upgrades and ive heard talk of a supercharger.

[heliochrome85]

only if it was the upmarket one. the base one is ok. the upmarket one is sharp.

[Sentientbydesign]

Lack of dimension. Looks like those modular room dividers.
