Or maybe "Peking" as in "Peking duck with fried rice"?

Please and thank you GM.

On Dealerworld if you go to search a car in the MY09 section there is a spot for the Traverse. There is also a host of new colors along the line of cars and trucks.

CNBC, cable stock market channel, will have a special on Monday night

I agree, the Flex might be ok for Ford but I can't see it being a Lincoln. So it will be interesting to see what Lincoln will do with it. I just hope it doesn't look like a wagon. So far I find Lincoln's latest vehicles much improved over the previous generations.

Kudos on the new server, it was sorely needed.

Great work on the new server. I figured that is what you guys were doing during the downtime on Saturday.

Nice job to all who worked on the new server. It is very much appreciated.

Now everyone can stop complaining and we can all enjoy the site!

So.... have we pretty much seen everything there is to be seen? This has been pretty boring IMO.

Eww Taurus X? Really? Why? The Saturn is much better, hell, even the old Trailblazers and Envoys are better! I'd wait for the Traverse though if I were you.

FierySolstice · 01-14-2008, 11:55 AM

Ok I just saw pictures of the MKT. It looks like a giant bug. That is the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen. If I see that driving down the road I would seriously have to pull over since I'd be laughing so hard. Thanks Lincoln for driving your business into the hands of Cadillac!!!

FierySolstice · 01-15-2008, 04:31 AM

BTW where's the new G6?!?! LOL

So what's going on, is the Traverse going to be at the show or not ?

I don't know much about this...or the Flex, but after seeing the flex in pictures, I think it's going to be a popular car.

I just wish Ford had something more fuel efficient than a big V6.

Look at me....as soon as Ford solves the power problem in it's larger cars, I go an complain about fuel economy. Oh well, something as large as the Flex is going to need a diesel engine or hybrid powertrain to meet the 35mpg CAFE rules.

I'm still waiting on this. Why isn't Mercury getting a version instead of Lincoln, seeing as how Lincoln got the jellybean crossover (Ford Edge). I like the Flex more than the edge.
