| Re: Ford's xB answer
Hey Skeeter - Long time since I've posted here. Catching up with friends around the country. Regarding this Ford, I agree that it looked more like an extended Gen 1 xB in the drawings. Meanwhile, have you seen the Nissan Cube - What a copycat for the Gen 1 xB. Check it out. BTW - All's well. We are down to two xBs but I also now own an FJ Cruiser - awesome vehicle but I still love my yellow sub.
Here's an article comparing it to the Gen 2 xB.  2008 Nissan Cube vs. 2008 Scion xB Comparison Test

Anyone notice it says "foose" on the license plate so its going to look alot worse than that when/if it comes out?
I personally don't think it looks that bad but Ford makes horrible cars. Found on Road Dead. | |

"The Ford Flex elicits emotional responses from people unlike any vehicle in recent memory, yet customers have distinct interpretations of how the Flex can fit into their lifestyle," says Kate Pearce, Ford Flex marketing plans manager. "Bringing Flex to SEMA before the production vehicle's launch gives us an opportunity to explore the endless possibilities within the world of customization - and to help further broaden the vehicle's strong appeal." | |

You know the cube looks more like a mini Honda Element than the XB. Good video about the cube. Enough said right there! | |

regardless, the fact that the ford company has been around longer than any other car company further proves it's inferiority when comparing it's reliability, creativity, and intuition to that of japanese cars.
