I think Horbury's guys are tweaking the big chrome grin.

 

The headlights on both the Edge and Five Hundred are notched and upswept and wrap around into the sidemarker/parking light/turn signal assembly, and the Focus has wider gaps between the bars, and I do believe it has three chrome bars

 

It's a design statement that needs to evolve continually.

 

Checked on the Focus. It doesn't have 3 bars.

that will be good... the worst thing they could do would be to just up size and down size the fusion grill ... I always hated in 92 when the escort, taurus and crown vic all had the no grill face... just looked like taurus small-medium-large and the only one that looked ok was the taurus... which got old quick...

It's much like the third row seat in the Taurus station wagon, just a kiddie seat. Whether it's useful or not is really left up to opinion, but that's what it is.

It looks like they upholstered it with towels! And what's with the bunny-ear head restraints?

 

It's a kiddie seat alright. No adult would want to sit there.

 

Padding looks like it's about an inch thick too. Man, you'd just about need a stadium seat in order to handle any amount of time stuck back there.

That seat is a total joke! They added it to appease people and this is what you get in a vehicle that really isn't set up size wise for a true 3rd row seat.

They are doing what Toyota's has done in regards to the Highlander and rav4. Adding third rows that mean nothing but people tend to eat them up.

What color green is this? I don't think it's Titanium Green.

 

I've seen a green very similar to this on both a Mustang and a Focus, and it looks really sharp on them, but on this... not so much.

 

What's the paint color?

 

 

I know the 05 Mustang had Legend Lime, which no other Ford Product had. But I don't think this is it

This color is called Kiwi Green. The color code is NZ (for New Zealand, I guess). This color isn't anywhere near the Legend Lime of the Mustangs. It is however, the same color on the 2007 Focus. Its okay in my eye. Definitely different.

Premium In-Car Technology

The 2007 Outlander offers many user technologies typically available on premium SUVs, some of which are firsts for the segment. On Outlander XLS models, the standard FAST (Freehand Advanced Security Transmitter) Key entry system allows passive vehicle unlocking and engine start/stop simply by carrying the remote control.

Outlander LS and XLS models can be optionally equipped with an available HDD 30-gigabyte navigation system with music server; a 650-watt Rockford-Fosgate® Premium Audio system with digital signal processing; SIRIUS® satellite radio with six month pre-paid subscription (also included with Rockford-Fosgate system); hands-free calling through Bluetooth® wireless technology, and a DVD rear seat entertainment system with a nine-inch wide-format LCD screen.

 

The Car does not have a key, it has a FOB that detects when the driver is near and unlocaks the door, also can start the car. nice Feature on entry level CUV.

 

The Car has a tailgate to make loading and unloading easier. plus can hold 400lbs when down , for the larger tailgating parties.

I don't see the benefit of "keyless" ignition. I still have to have the "key" (or keyfob, whatever it is) with me, so how does this make my life any easier? I really have never had any trouble inserting a key into the cylinder and turning it to start the car, what's the inconvenience there? These systems seem like technology for the sake of technology, I don't think they're any sort of improvement over a traditional ignition.

Same here. My friend got one of the 1st C6 Vettes in my area. He had the Keyless option. Told me it was okay, but annoying, as if he wanted to walk back to the car to check if it was locked, the transmitter would always unlock the car. Got annoying, and wished ne didn't get it on the car. Give me my buttons on the remote any day. At least I know the car is secure.
