I miss my mom's old Escape

Are you sure that's a black interior too? 'Cause it looks a lot more tan. My moms was all black and looked nothing like that...

Congrats to her for gettin' a new car!

Nice!

But I don't quite get it. What's the diff between the Escape and the Edge?

Ford has 4 different vehicles competing in this same narrow space: Flex, Explorer, Escape, Edge. Are they really that different from each other?

Ok. In my reading from earlier pages I thought you had said black, I was confused!

The Edge is a size up from the Escape. Escape is basically a Ranger in SUV form (that size, like the expedition-F150 size correlation). Explorer is just a size down from the Expy. Edge and Flex are the same size, but are supposedly aimed at different people.

And for Gary:

Man Donald Trump excites me every time they interview him about the economy and/or running for Pres. The way he talks of standing up to the Chi-Coms & OPEC gives me the chills. He was just interviewed by Larry Kudlow and he nailed it!

Size and price. Also the Edge and Explorer offer lots of creature comforts and advanced electronics. I took my wife shopping a few weeks back and drove all four. She settled on the Edge Sport.

I wondered. I've never seen the Escape and Edge side by side.
I knew the Flex was like a 9 passenger sort of wagon and of course the Expedition is just huge.

Yeah me too. He was on Hannity's radio show the other day and nailed the chi-coms and OPEC too. He sounds great, I just need more details. It's a shame we cant mix and match a little from him and Palin and Christie, and Paul, etc.

I'm becoming a fan of Lt. Col. Allen West. There is something I really like about him.

I hope it's not his body.





Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Looks great Nathan, tell her good luck with it. I like that body style the best with the round fogs and all. I'm not nearly as crazy about the first gen, or the current body style.

My GF is trying to decide between an Escape and a Fusion. I think right now she is leaning toward the Fusion.

Well one seats 7 and can tow almost twice as much as the other... So they are similar in size but the Explorer has another row of seats and its extra heft means it can tow more.

The ones that I think are too similar are the Flex and the Explorer, but if I had to pick it would be the Flex all day long, I love the look.

He was elected to the U.S House from Fl. in November.

This speech was what turned me on to him.

No teleprompter there.

When you have some time listen to some of his other speeches.

It is a little wordy. Say it slow.


I could have just said "I don't think I know him."

Two thoughts come to mind.

1. Keith Olbeman doesn't like him at all, which means I like the guy because anybody Olberman doesnt like has got to be a good guy.

2. I remember him now as the guy booted for 'torturing' and firing his gun near the head of that Iraqi. Sounds like he's Jack Bauer!
