I saw one of these on the interstate hovering around the Ford compound in Atlanta before they were released. I also recently parked my Element next to one. No one seems to have mentioned this, but it's HUGE. It's only 5" shorter (length-wise) and 2" narrower than an Expedition! xB comparison? Add 50% more weight (3060 vs 4600) and 3ft more length (167 vs 202). And that's the new, bigger xB.

At least Ford is considering fuel economy. Whatever gets people out of their Expeditions, I'm all for it. Ford's going to sell a lot of these when they're the only US automaker left in 6 months!
