Re: Freestyle = Taurus X? Not. [passat_2002]

Well the way i see it, there will be a Ford Freestyle discussion forum just sitting idle if the forum moves to a Taurus X only discussion, as I said that really singles out the owners of the Freestyles and the shoppers who will be shopping for the 2009 Taurus X I would highly think they would know their Taurus X was once known as a Freestyle unless they haven't been keeping ...

"Nothing in the spec on the website say vvt. Turbodiesel, I want a turbodiesel for the Flex and even the T-reX. That would make a big difference in mpg and drivetrain longevity... why won't they embrace this, why..." Because they don't have a diesel engine that will meet CARB specs. Currently only vehicles with GVW of 6K lbs or greater can have a diesel. This is basically ... Read More...

That's why i like heated/ cooled leather. It's the one option I willingly pay for. Cracking leather-some is worse than others. Honda leather-sorry to offend any one but IT SUCKS. But in older dodge Caravans (8-10 years old) leather is GREAT with wear. Not exactly sure about oother model years. I do know the Montego's leather holds up pretty wel- so maybe it would ...

Exactly. The Flex has a Land Rover-ness to it that will serve it well. On the other hand, the Quest was radical like the 1996 guppy Taurus was radical. Sometimes radical is not attractive or appealing in any appreciable way. Also, think Honda Element or Scion xB v. Pontiac Aztec. while many people cannot stand the xB, some find it very appealing. But no one thought ... Read More...

The sunroof includes two windows above the second row and one above the third row. The Flex uses the same chassis as the Freestyle, not the Land Rover. If you look, you will note the proportions are similar to the FS/Taurus X--but more squared off. The Land Rover "look" should not hurt its chances in teh marketplace though. It looks more upscale than the FS. Too bad ... Read More...

I'm not wild about alpha-numeric names; mostly because I usually can't remember what car the name is referring to. Take a look around the forums - there are plenty of alpha-numeric names like Rick2456 and Barnstormer64. But those seem to be real names first, not initials like CX-7 and ML-320. And there aren't too many like 1487 (and I had to scroll through a few ... Read More...

Nitro, And the fold forward front passenger seat as well, then again, I recently made a 12ft. long persian rug fit in a new Mustang. Handler felt so bad not wanting to even help positioning because he was afraid of scratching it. Unfortunately when there's a sale, you just can't plan ahead on a vehicle to take. Shopper, That's still being worked out, mainly with ... Read More...
