what s wrong with this picture modern visibility edition

Ford gives us [via Facebook] as good of a view of the 2011 Explorer… as you’ll get from the seat of a 2011 Explorer. Unless this is some kind of appeal to the spelunking lifestyle segment (you never know), we may have a new ridiculous pillar size champ on our hands.

Are pillars the new tailfins?

Very nice. Given the overall length I'd say it looks nicely balanced, more aerodynamic than before, and it looks like they've solved the weight distribution problem.. Oh wait are we talking about the canoe or the Explorer? Ford should be careful. In this day and age of attention Photoshoppers, someone might actually take all those pieces and put together an SUV.

It remains to be seen until the dimension specs are posted, but this looks to me like it might be just a restyled Taurus X.

Formula m How many Hyundai and Kia’s do not have the original engine block it left the factory with 10yrs prior?
1995 SC I will say that year 29 has been a little spendy on my car (Motor Mounts, Injectors and a Supercharger Service since it had to come off for the injectors, ABS Pump and the tool to cycle the valves to bleed the system, Front Calipers, rear pinion seal, transmission service with a new pan that has a drain, a gaggle of capacitors to fix the ride control module and a replacement amplifier for the stereo. Still needs an exhaust manifold gasket. The front end got serviced in year 28. On the plus side blank cassettes are increasingly easy to find so I have a solid collection of 90 minute playlists.

Jeff Tesla should not be allowed to call its system Full Self-Driving. Very dangerous and misleading.
