I just saw this feature that spots potholes on either the left or right separately and stops the wheels on that side from dipping into them (first the front then the back). It makes for a very smooth ride over a pothole.

Will the new Q have such a feature? I have a '06 M35x Premium that still runs like a champ. The damn thing won't die a reasonable death. I've been lusting after the Q70-but my trusty M keeps plugging on. Damn..!

That sounds like an awesome feature. I'm not a huge fan of Ford. But they do come up with some innovative ideas. Being the victim of a pothole. New tire needed. Bent rim. Took it to be straightened. Never was the same. Always balanced fine. But had a slow leak. Like 10 lbs per week. So I like that feature.

Holy crap! Antz lives! Welcome back, sir!

Sounds like a nice feature. I'm definitely curious on the redesign myself...

Wow that is a near feature. Use it on NE Ohio roads and you may just defy gravity. The potholes are horrendous and non-stop where I'm from thanks to the winter snow and ice and salt use.
