I knew I wouldn't have to start this thread, but I'm glad someone did. O.K., I do like the rear of the car a little, but the front is GAWD AWFUL. Spelled about as nicely as it looks. Maybe Ford should drop this idea all together and find something else to build. I know. How about a Ford Expedition with a Turbocharged 4.0 liter diesel that makes about 175 hp and 400 lb ft of torque. Should get in the mid 20's mpg wise, much better than my 98 with the 5.4 triton getting 13 mpg.
