It does not hurt my feelings, pick my pocket or break my back if you prefer a BOF car, I just don't know of one that is as safe as some of the new models out there. I get that that is not your top priority when buying a car. Obviiously it was not my top priority when I bought the F150 I still have.

Replying to: carfanforever (Mar 12, 2009 10:39 am) Where did I say that? There is a huge difference between liking something and saying one is technologically better than the other. I would never tell you that YOU shouldn't like the Panthers. Your love for the platform has blinded you to any shortcomings and you're the one who's personally offended that the mfrs have abandoned the technology. Now, back to the MKS.......

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 12, 2009 11:43 am) Yes, the 30 year old BOF structure of the TC did well. That alone proves the soundness of the BOF way of building cars. Listen, can we just get one thing straight please? This is not a matter of me getting upset/offended because someone else dislikes cars I like. If someone had said, "I don't like Town Cars/Panthers, they are not my cup of tea", I would have no problem with that and leave them be. What bothers me is people saying, either directly or indirectly, "I don't like Town Cars/Panthers! They are useless junk, built on stupid, unsafe, outdated BOF architecture, anybody who does like them is a backwards fool who needs to get with the times, accept a new, high tech unibody car, and I applaud Ford/big three for abandoning stupid, unsafe useless, BOF/Panther junk, which nobody wants anyway! Bravo Ford/big three!" THAT is what bothers me. |

Replying to: akirby (Mar 12, 2009 12:52 pm) "Back to the MKS"? Sure, it is a nice car. I could see myself getting one one day and parking it next to one of my Panthers. |

....now that we all know how everyone feels about BOF vs. unibody, that should be the end of the debate. Time to direct the comments strictly about about the MKS, thankewverymuch.

Here is a YT review/road test of the MKS. It looks great on the road/in motion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYidwFeDOk&NR=1 |

Replying to: carfanforever (Mar 12, 2009 12:56 pm) Now, back to the MKS...the more I look at its platform mate, the 2010 Taurus, the more it grows on me. I didn't like some of the details at first, but it is looking quite nice to my eye now (and I literally do have just one working eye!). I do think some people are going to cross-shop these two and not just find a Ford bargain, but a sharper looking car as well. Of course it is all personal preference. |

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 12, 2009 3:23 pm) If I were satisfied with the base V6, I would take a Taurus Limited over a base MKS. I would waaaay prefer the Taurus over an MKZ. I want the Ecoboost engine, though, and the only Taurus with that is the SHO. It has stiffer suspension and I don't want that. I don't care for the interior trim in the SHO, either. |
