Replying to: vad1819 (Jan 26, 2008 4:22 pm) Being that the occupants of the second row of our vehicle are small children 99% of the time none of that matters to me and shouldn't to anyone in the same situation. Who buys one of these three row behemoths to make the occasional adult passengers comfortable? Does anyone sit adults in the second row of these things for long trips the majority of the time they are driving it? Wouldn't a smaller more efficient and better driving SUV/CUV be a better choice for them? I've never understood the obsession with an inch or two of legroom. They do the same thing in the mid-size sedan thread and I don't get it there either. The Flex looks same as a TX inside. Either you weren't looking at the inside of a Flex, or you need your eyes checked immediately!

Replying to: samf10 (Jan 27, 2008 12:38 pm) as for faith in ford, I'd argue that gm has had more serious teething problems with the lambdas than ford ever had with the FS/T-reX... as for the rest, whatever... You asked, I offered without trying to be "offensive". not sure why people feel compelled to insult than say well really I didn't mean anything by it, why say it in the first place? moving on, good luck with whatever you buy for whatever reason you choose it.

Replying to: samf10 (Jan 27, 2008 1:25 pm) After reading your post I went back and looked at some pictures of the TX, and now that you mention it, I do see some resemblance to a hearse! I never really thought about it before, until you brought it up. Bear in mind that I will soon be the owner of a TX in a few weeks, and your observation certainly hasn't changed my opinion. On the contrary, it'll come in handy lugging around the mother-in-law!

When your kid will be hitting back of your seat. The TX no longer fuel saver with new engine in there. So, why not buy bigger more comfortable CUV. About Flex: the interior looks same as TX. The second row moves same as TX, even seat same.The space behind third row looks same as TX. I have not measured with the tape. The very good CUV is Volvo. A lot space almost same as Acadia, rear smaller bottom part of the gate drops down, I liked it very much. ( I'm taking back what I said before about Volvo). But if you're willing to spent 45 grand or more for family CUV the Mercedes R-class will be one of the best choices. The interior is superior compare to any CUV, at same time conservative using high quality materials, even interior door handles feels like you're sitting in the sedan. There're no reasons to compare R-class to Q7, R has much, much better interior and space. Q7 is more like oversize Toureg.
