  1. It wont be long until you are forced to take all of these "features", unless you want an entry level car. I made sure that I got my Flex ecoboost at the tail end of the 2012 model run so I wouldnt end up with the My Touch abortion..... From what Ive read about the problems with it, I would have taken the hit and dumped the vehicle, if it had it....Either that, or take an axe to the center stack..... I think that so many of the newer vehicles are so complicated electronically, and the systems so interlinked, that when they get older , they will be scrapped due to the excessive cost associated with fixing the electrical problems, even though the mechanics and body are fine.....
  2. I personally dont want or need any of this additional tech b/s, such as adaptive cruise control. collision warnings, automatic braking, lane alerts and so forth .... .I dont trust it and see it being a nightmare regarding potential reliability problems , once the vehicle gets older. I dont drive with my head up my @ss, so I dont need or want my car trying to second guess my driving commands.... Just watched the TDS video above....The perpendicular park tech is another example of dumbing down driving skills....Geez, if you need your car to do that for you, you clearly dont know how to drive......
  3. Bullschit.....He just lost all credibility , with that statement !
  4. Either that or just a paper difference due to different fuel octane/ and or rpm's used in obtaining the Ford and Lincoln ratings...
  5. Where is Waldo's take on this?...Ie Are there any hardware differences between the MKX 2.7 versus the Edge 2.7 ?
  6. 5.5 sec if you are going downhill.....BMW underrates their power outputs, and also uses an 8 spd auto......If Ford is accurately rating the 2.7 , in the Edge , I would expect a real life 0-60 in the low 6 sec range, for the awd. Ford seems to be hit and miss for real life ecoboost performance.....3.5 ecoboost performs well, 2.0 ecoboost is a dog , and doesnt perform as well as the power ratings suggest.
  7. Any idea why the power is less than in the upcoming Lincoln?
  8. Anybody know what the actual ratings are?
