Passed by a Ford dealership the other day...these are the new van idea they have...I could see some potential here....but look alot like something off of the movie "Cars".....2.0 litre engine and a price tag of $26,000 - $36,000 Canadian

That's too bad. Looks like a Windstar with the roof extended. The Europians have landed... _________________ RadicalRan

I still don't think I like them. I can't even imagine one chopped looking good. The price I think is a bit high for what they are too. _________________

Drove 1...had a 1000 lb skid in it...with the Escort power train, it did 0-60 KPH in 6 blocks and the engine was unbelievably loud and gutless...
Also turned corners with that weight, with massive under steer , and on a wet patch of road, did not want to turn at all on a sharp left turn ( almost got a curb )
The sliders clanged shut, and the heater is obviously for use in the desert, not Canada..
On a trip over the Burlington Sky way, it was stable with the skid in, and wonky empty in a moderate crosswind
I would buy 2....one for the road, while the other is in the shop.....
Advised my Customer, not to buy, to stay with the Chrysler Minivans
When he indicated he wanted advertising space, I have him considering a vinyl wrap, over the windows....and paint.....
That is my 400.00 opinion, that my customer paid for _________________ Doc,
