Had the Focus been handled properly, most of the issues the 1st year woudn't have happened. Needless to say Nassar isn't here anymore )thank goodness). Believe me, I want this thing out tomorrow. I sell Ford's and people are starting to ask about it. We need this car in the showrooms today, but when something is rushed, problems can arise. 
I too am really looking forward to the MKX.
I also ditto the above, why must everything be "gay" Jcopin?

Don't know about the ride, but the interiors are completely different. Personally, I like the Ford/Lincoln interior better.

If you're also of the mind that the CX-7 will give you a hint at what to expect with the upcoming 2007 Ford Edge crossover, think again.
The closest cousin to the CX-7 is the rock-solid Mazda6 midsize sedan, which also shares some of its basic underbody architecture with the Edge. But the larger, three-row CX-9 crossover will actually be closer to the Edge, according to Mazda spokesman Jeremy Barnes, because it will use the same 265-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6, six-speed automatic transmission and many of the suspension components. But the CX-9 will be longer, wider and taller than the Edge.

One big selling point I think people are gonna like is the optional glass roof(s) you can get. It looks beautiful. There is a bunch of them driving around Oakville. Test mules or prototypes, whatever you wanna call em
