My life is now…ruined….

Maybe that pesky Firestone tire salesman keeps interrupting the production meetings.

Thanks Johnny. You know how hard to clean coffee of keyboard?

I know. I Had my 54 FT Yacht towed and this ruins everything, Gosh what can I use to Pull it. Maybe an Expedition?

Novel idea: sail the yacht. Earth is 85% water.

…so is bar Scotch.

Oh goodie.. The current Explorer is such a style leader we were hoping it would stick around longer.
BAA HAA HAA HAA

Unlike most car companies in Detroit, Ford has been using its delays pretty wisely. Maybe it’s just because I don’t care about Explorers, but I don’t think the delay is a big deal if it means that the time will be used to improve quality. There was a delay on the Edge and from what I’ve been hearing from folks that drive them is that they love the things. I think all the posters here have bemoaned the decisions of certain car companies to rush to market with future rustic lawn planters.

Oh and Ford hasn’t stolen any money from me whilst simultaneously upsetting hundreds of years of American jurisprudence on bankruptcy. For that alone I’ll give them a pass.

HAHA JOHNNY IS ON A ROLE LOL

They kill off the TaurusX because of overlap with the Flex, so they can make the next explorer just like the Flex? I’m confused.

I sincerely hope it looks nothing like the Flex and more like the America concept. But I donnknow because I see mules that look alot like Flex and that ain’t a good thing. Either they are really good at disguising the true metal and using old junk to do or its new junk. I donnknow which it is. Keep me posted!

I have to agree with Lion, I am sure they have a good reason. I think we all can agree that this particular car at this time is not a priority.

I can’t wait to see this. I was never really a fan of the Flex so I hope this is better than the Flex and Taurus X.

My crystal ball is ready – it’s going to be the same size as the Acadia twins to better compete with a full-size crossover market… As if the Flex wasn’t enough.

The Flex in my opinion is Hideous attempt at a People Mover reminescent of the Late 1950’s or very Early 60’s like the Leviathan Ford 61 Starliner Wagon or 1959 Edsel Villager Station Wager but taller.

Its ok and if there is one place for an experiement in Ford’s Line up I guess that will have to be it.

I have only seen a handful of these Ford Flex’s on the road though

I would hope that the new EXPLORER look like the EXPLORER AMERICA Concept. No doubt the Navi-globe would never make it but still. A can’t miss if it did.

Ford probably just decided that the Explorer was not going to sell anymore units even with a redesign.
Instead they’ll be working on the all new europe only Ford Go Kart. How much smaller of a vehicle do you think that the world’s leading truck manufacturer can make without calling it that?

Who give too ****s about the Explorer anymore. Obsolete. Get the Kuga over here sooner Ford.
