Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

Looks good. Definitely a lot better then the old one interior wise. Exterior wise, need to see more pics. Does anybody know the mpg this thing will get with the six-speed?

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

The only thing I'm worried about (for GM) is the towing figures.
I don't like the "F-150 inspired" center stack.

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

I expected it to be better. The interior is. I think the styling of the Tahoe and Yukon blow it away. But thats just my opinion. I'm sure many people will like it. (if they're blind) HeHe

I was only joking people, but lets see a pic of the rear end.

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

It'll be interesting to compare to the Tahoe/Suburban in person when they hit the ground. Since most of the things that both will brag about are subjective (ride, noise, etc) we won't know until we drive both.

I'll also be curious to see performance numbers and how real world fuel economy compares. I'm expecting improved EPA ratings from this one, but I'm betting neither this nor the GMT 900's will back up the numbers in real world driving and will end up only marginaly better than 2006 models.

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

Everyone i know LOVES the f150's interior, makes all other truck interior's look obsolete. It looks great in there, espically in black. Much nicer to me then the tahoe's impala interior.

Rear end picture is here

Oh yeah, all the wood in it..... It's all REAL Real Mahogony

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

I'm glad this Expedition is boxier/chunkier. I've always though the first gen was too rounded. The interior looks good. I'm glad it looks like it belongs in a truck-based vehicle. There are no surprises in the powertrain.

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

Gets a big meh from me, especially with the blacked-out grille.

I liked Fo/rd's plan of keeping ca/r and tru/ck design themes distinct. They ****ed it up already.

Re: The NEW 2007 Expedition

+1 on the ugly... less power, probably worse gas mileage than the Tahoe... I think Ford needs to do more like it...

Yup. I'm not sure what they're thinking. This is not good. This is to the new GMT900 Tahoe as the Malibu is to the Fusion.

I was hoping they would keep the front ends/grilles more distinct as well.

Like an F150 inside, but outside, it's a warmed over current Expedition back of the A pillar, and ugly forward of the A pillar.
