My thoughts on the matter:
For starters, a 4-door version for this vehicle is an absolute requirement. Nobody is going to buy a 2-seater one of these in any meaningful volume.
I agree. A 4 door would be the only model that would survive, even though there may be a small niche for a 2 door.
In the short term, I believe only a 4 door should be offered, and if it succeeds, maybe down the road, produce a 2 door, maybe even badging it an El Camino and giving it to Chevy.

i like it. i think its kinda cool looking and its not nearly as funny looking at the Baja. keep milage in check and it might be viable.
It's ok....and I agree that it's better looking than the Baja.

The perfect ride to take the boys to see the Molly Hatchet-38 Special Concert.

I hope that they make it look more truck-like (looks wise). I know that Lutz said it would be, so we'll see.

I, for one, am glad to see that Toyota is no longer getting a free pass by everybody. It seems that the media is finally waking up to the fact that Toyota is not the perfect "American" company they portray themselves to be.
I hope it continues and that we see less of this to Toyota by both the media and the American people:
:bowdown:

Maybe Toyota should include their own "Personal Safety System" with this van...
A pair of steel-toed boots (for when the sliding door falls off) and a hard hat (for when the liftgate comes down on your noggin'!)
Good one! -
Toyota Sienna liftgate gets the "warranty favor" treatment from Toyota....Does it never end?
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008...a_liftgate.html
I think it's rediculous that they can get away with calling all their recalls "warranty adjustments."
Think of how much more press they'd get if they were called recalls, oh wait, it's Toyota, they wouldn't anyways.

I noticed the Autoblog website had and item on the F-150 saying its looking a bit dated and Ford are considering another make-over to make it more fuel efficient in the future, do you think would lose sales if made the cab a bit more aerodynamically efficient, just interested in what you think, do you think Ford would lose sales?
Autoblog: Ford are already thinking about a more aerodynamic F-150.
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/22/ford-al...odynamic-f-150/
I wonder what they'll come up with. I'd assume its semi-difficult to make a truck aerodynamic, while having a large grille, etc. for larger, more powerful engines. Also, some people don't think the aero look looks trucky enough.
I think there's a balance somewhere, it just needs to be discovered. Also, on regards of Ford "already thinking about the new F-150", that'd make sense, since this is technically just a thorough MCE.

well the concept shown is from 2005 but this new one is supposed to be a "Sportwagon" version, they believe it will out-do the new Falcon(which i doubt, because this will probably never see production) but it looks pretty good if your a hot rod lover.....
but now i really want to see the new Falcon.
i think retro needs to die, and we need to move on to our own creative designs......
That's the Efijy concept. I saw it at NAIAS last year. I didn't think it looked bad. I like the front. The back is strange though. IMO that sloping back doesn't work today.
-
...because obviously trucks don't have trunks.
Ridgeline does!!! Oh, wait, that isn't a truck.....nevermind!!
-
Face it, the idea of a luxury Hyundai is a bad one and IMO, a bad move. I won't go so far as to say it will never be a good idea, just not at this time.
I agree.
-
I like the Honda Element better................
At least it looks semi-normal. It looks better now that they painted the plastic and added the SC(?) model.

Please lose the Prius rear roofline. please.
Please? :angel:

Yet again the panther gets talked about in another thread that doesnt belong in :rolleyes:
Could there be a topic on BOF without at least one of the following?:
-Panther being brought up
-fight between Pscario/Richard
-fight between others (tommy, Ford LOL, other members)
-many more.....

Here's a small picture of that Cobra picture I was talking about. I would post a bigger one, but I haven't gotten it back yet.
It's a GT500KR weaved with the image of two Cobra emblems. (If you couldn't tell)

I would rather have a heated steering wheel.
I'm waiting for the air-conditioned steering wheel. (A heated one wouldn't do much good in S. Florida)

x2. Ive used this feature almost daily in my Lexus and buying a new vehicle with out this option seems ridiculous. Ventilated seats should be offered as an option in all models. I read the 09 F150 might be getting it, now lets get it in the Super Duty too!
I use it all the time in our Expedition. It really spoils you, to the point where you don't want a vehicle without it. I agree.
Yes, the 09 F-150 will have it as an option on higher-end models. I agree that it should be on Super Duty as well. It only makes sense for it to be an option on a truck, I mean, what type of worker wouldn't want to have A/C seats after a hard day's work in the hot sun?
-
Doesn't the MKX have that option?
Yes, it does.
Here are the Ford products that I can think of that have the A/C seats:
Expedition
F-150 (09)
Navigator
MKX
MKS (I believe)
MKZ
*I think they're standard on all Lincoln models now, actually (except Town Car)
I can't really think of any other Ford badged products that have them and I don't believe any Mercury products have them.
-
I figured it was the same 2.5, but just wanted to make sure.
-
Customers can begin placing orders for the Expedition, Navigator and E-Series in May 2008 with vehicle production slated to begin in July 2008.
If your lucky it will have the redesigned dash similar to the 09 F-150. Looks nice.

I'm gonna guess the F-150's new dash won't be carried over until 2010 at the earliest, but I could be wrong.
-
Thanks. It's too bad, looks like a great product.
You're welcome. I know how you feel. However, like I said, I'm just guessing, so I could be wrong, though.
There may be someone here that knows more about the system that would be able to let you know for sure.

I've noticed that on my dad's 2004 F-150, the amber paint on the turn signal bulbs in the headlight assembly is starting to peel/fade away. Have any other F-150 owners noticed this? I find it kind of annoying, although it's not really a big deal. I have noticed that because of this, when the turn signal is illuminated, the glow is a lighter color orange than it would normally be.
-
hey off-topic but how much does your dad's F-150 make at the crank?
and if you know, how much at the wheels?
I don't know offhand, but I'll ask him and get back to you.
Here are some pics though: (it's dirty and desperately needs a wash and wax)

igor would know more but, dont know the mpg ratings but the new version of the hybrid system is very flexible, and the 3.5 was designed with the hybrid in mind, there was rumors last year the the first application of the 3.5l hybrid would be in the edge
Either way, it sounds very promising.

Well it's not that, since it's being discontinued and is ugly.
