A Day with Ford’s 2009 Vehicle Lineup

I came across this looking for mobile tech news actually. Pretty interesting read really. And naturally, I was eyeing up every pic looking for signs of something from 2010! I wouldn't mind going on one of these myself.

As a bonus, it's the best shot of the new 8" NAV screen I've ever seen. Something we maybe getting in 2010.

I like the dash on the new truck - very nice.

I dig this comment at the bottom



I think my favorite was the new Edge Sport edition. 22-inch factory rims and body color aero kit skirting all around. Ride was a bit tighter thanks to sport suspension as well.
Kudos to Ford for embracing “new” journalism in addition to traditional media members.
And I was not allowed to take any pictures of the cladded 2010 Verve and Mustang models testing on the track around us, but the next F150 looked like it was handling the wet skid pad just fine. Looks good on the road, too as they passed us often in final testing.

The in-dash nav systems just seem like a waste to me, considering many of us don't always travel with our personal vehicles.

What were they displaying with the steering wheels? Is that "Ford DNA" wheel going to replace the current 4 spoke wheel as the corporate wheel?

" Am I the only one who can’t seem to forget how the was like a poor man’s Mustang? I’ll admit that it tainted my opinion of the Brand for years. Now I see that I will need to rethink my bias."

What world did this fool live in? Or what year Capri was he talking about?

Glad to hear he liked the Edge Sport! I'm working on that program now and I actually worked this event as a Platform Expert.

That's why it's an option.

I have it on my daily, only because it was the only vehicle I was looking at with the options I wanted (besides for the nav). I said to myself, "well that's nice, but I don't need it." However in the months that followed, I found myself using it a lot!
