....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. Replies to this message: berri (Mar 12, 2009 5:01 pm) gregg_vw (Mar 13, 2009 9:42 am) KarenS (Mar 13, 2009 11:38 am)

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) carfanforever, I would really like to get along with you. I am trying to say nicely, without spite or malice, that you attribute thoughts to me that I did not mean to either say or imply. If I have offended you, I am sorry. That was never my intention. Still, if I did anyway, I apologize. I am here for enjoyment, not for name calling. I do not condone calling anyone a backwards fool or anything like that.   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) I agree (for once). I'd have to seriously consider the Taurus over the MKS. Of course I'd rather have a Porsche Cayman S in Guard's Red with a 6 speed stick, but..... Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Mar 13, 2009 4:56 am)

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 12, 2009 3:23 pm) I like the 2010 Taurus, too. I look forward to seeing one in person at the Minneapolis auto show later this month. Based on the pictures, the proportions look better to me than the MKS - less front overhang and what appears to be a flatter roof. I like the slope of the center stack, too.   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.

Replying to: KarenS (Mar 12, 2009 1:06 pm) So what's next - the full size spare tire in the trunk? Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Mar 13, 2009 9:42 am) KarenS (Mar 13, 2009 11:38 am)

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 12, 2009 9:13 am) They both absorb crash energy pretty well it looks like to me.   For the MKS, is it normal for the side mirrors to pivot forward as they are seen to do in the crash video? I mean, is this a designed movement or a result of the crash?

Replying to: akirby (Mar 12, 2009 3:29 pm) Hey, Allen, I know we have "clashed" a lot, but no matter what, I always respect your knowledge of the industry and your way with a word. Hope you get your Porsche some day.   I cannot believe I am actually considering taking a look at the Taurus. I did look at the MKS with no real prior interest, and I could just not get past the shape and styling. of the thing. But I agree it is a good effort for now. And enough people do seem to like it.

Replying to: berri (Mar 12, 2009 5:01 pm) And now for another take on how we can all get around here...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIDpCT1tOqE&eurl=http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/- 13/video-prius-backlash-bubbles-over-in-comedy-sketch/&feature=player_embedded   Kinda sick, but sure made me laff!
