I was going to say, how do you know that 3rd row access is horrible on the Flex? Also, a diesel is being put into the Expedition in 09/10, which will assist with fuel economy numbers, if that interests you.

I know we have quite a bit of stop and go traffic down here in South Florida, so in a big city type environment, I believe a hybrid truck could do well.

Pictures can be very decieving though, sizewise.

Well thanks, I use MS Paint to do them too. LOL

I'd have to agree with you, sorry Waylon.

I was wondering the same thing. I understand why you're doing it though, I hate it when a thread gets a horrible response (quantity wise).

Sorry if this offends you, but who is that? I assume he wrote like that?

About it being Taurus? And how do you know for sure?

Just drop it, will ya?

I agree, the Dodge center consoles are pretty wide. Also from what I remember from last years NAIAS, the Tundra's center console was pretty wide as well.

It looks great in person (opinion, of course).

Only differences I see are the slightly extended bumpers, gas door is on opposite side, antenna, lights, doors, and wheels (obviously the interior as well). Other than that, I didn't realize how close the two really were. Some angles made the Fairlane look taller than it was.

You mean just like with the Turboed engines and the 1/2 ton diesel?!?

Just because the article says something, doesn't mean it's right, so for all we know they could be making some of this up too.

Oh, nevermind then.

Yes, it certainly looks like they changed a lot!

Except me! (insert sound clip of evil meniacal laugh) :devil2:

Such peaceful words from Tom.....

The sad thing is, the shape of the Karma's grille is very similar to Nicholson's Joker mouth.

Oh, you're such a critic!!!

Those would be good updates. It appears they haven't switched the third brakelight (in the window) to LEDs though, I'm kinda dissapointed. (this is based on looks alone without a brake light 'glow', however)

That is a good point. Kudos to Ford for doing this. I'm sure Igor knows that, he just typed it wrong.

I wasn't expecting a very drastic update either. I agree with your evaluation of the changes it needs. I also agree that sales will continue to pick up. I don't either. I agree with your "unified look" comment. Rumor has it that the MKX will receive this face with it's '10 MCE. You haven't even seen it yet (except for the rendering). I suggest waiting to see it before you condemn it. I agree.

From what I can see, those renderings look pretty accurate.

What did I do? :angel: I hope you know I'm completely guessing, unless you're upset because you really desire a new Lightning.
