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.

Replying to: samf10 (Jan 27, 2008 1:25 pm) BTW - it's "hearse", I alluded to "Hearst" in my reply as he was a man of great wealth and taste in fine art from all era's, so calling it a "Hearst" could have been construed, while a stretch, as complimentary. As I mentioned I found the irony in the your statement and was just trying to point that out. as for funeral arrangements you'll need at least a lambda because everyone around here knows you'd never get a coffin in a FS/T-reX as been proven time and time again here in this forum it's just not big enough. bigger is better in that instance, but keep trying. it more looks the part anyway...LOL |
