TQ > MPG
My god the stance is so much better than the current 4x4's. Aftermarket manufacturer's are gonna be pissed because so many fewer people are gonna need lowering springs.

I bought my 03 Explorer a month after my 03 CLS-6 .. and haveta say .. the Explorer has been far more reliable than the CLS in almost a full year of ownership of the two; I've put more miles on the Explorer than the CLS6 (11k versus 10k miles).
So in my experience with Ford and Acura (3rd Ford and 3rd Acura), I can say that Acura has been no better than Ford.
My current Ford has not been back for ANY warranty work .. definately can't say that about the current rattle-box Acura ...
My previous Ford had not gone in for any warranty work in the 2+ years I had it .. DEFINATELY can't say that about the Acura (that thing made trips every month - hell it was on its 3 tranny when Acura gave me the 6er - but the tranny wasn't the only problem with that thing).

btw, did you know that no cls' were assembled overseas? there's your build quality answer.
your ac motor will put the ford engine to shame in the long run along with most other components!!

If they made a cover for that rear quarter window to make it look more like the concept....I think It would look better. Honestly....for $25K....I'm reall thinking about dumping the CL and getting a new GT.....then buying a beater next winter. I think Ford did an excelent job keeping the production vehicle close to the concept.

I've seen this car at the auto show. Any pictures you have of the new Mustang, throw them away. It just doesn't look that great on paper. See it in person and you will get a much better idea of the great design they made here.
Check it out in person when the car comes this summer or fall.
