rmc523 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The trunk of the Taurus is not tall enough unless I would remove the trunk lid. I need the utility of a wagon and want the handling of a car - most crossovers I have driven are just not the same with their higher CG. Also the console/dash center stack on the Taurus is just as huge. Good friend has a Freestyle, nice car, FWD version, 25 mpg average in his use. I would rather use less fuel than more the way the cost is going. Maybe a Flex would be a solution to your problem, possibly?

rmc523 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) What are the key one's and expected due dates then? Just curious.... Let's see, we have: Flex, MKS, new F-150, new Mustang, MKFlex, Fiesta/Verve, CD3 triplets, new Explorer (CUV), additional B-segment products (possibly including new Bronco), new Focus. Those are what I know is coming within the next year or so and I'm no Ford insider, so, for all I know, there could be more products coming. So that's at least 12 new products that we know are coming right there. Also, add in Edge/MKX refreshes, new engines/improvments to Expedition/Navigator (including diesel models-I'd assume-, 6.2L V8s, etc.) Edited January 5, 2008 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder2299of7839 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 makes me miss my 80s diesel escort wagon (I didn't think I'd ever miss it at the time) my 95 town car gets better mileage than the cars mentioned in this thread. sounds like you need to buy a $3k used car instead.
