I saw that Concept a few year's ago at the Auto Show, Looked like Crap then and i still haven't changed my mine on how ugly it is. It's save to say it will never be Built atleast looking like that.

My Parents use to own only Ford's untill they both starting Falling apart (96' F150,98 Windstar) Both were POS's.

I'm starting to like Ford again mainly due to the 2010 SHO coming Back!!! Fit and Finish has gotten alot better except for the Focus. Plus i like the 2010 Fusion. One thing that is helping Ford atleast in the Northern State's AWD in Car's.
Wish GM would get on the bandwagon with AWD in car's not everyone wants/afford a Crossover,Suv with AWD.

Still like the Cobra and Mach 1, The 2010 Looks better then the last Generation, Main complaint with the Stang is there still using the Solid Rear axle.

NAIAS '07 - I walked around it. It's 'impressive', but not even remotely practical for most people. Reminds me of a time I had to drive our CEO to the airport at a time I hadn't yet fitted the side steps to my lifted Dodge pickup, he was only a little guy. I've had other passengers fall out of that vehicle as they tried to exit too. Tailgate is too high to be able to easily load, so it has problems as both a utility vehicle, and the limo it's pretending to be. The armchairs and footstools are pretty trick, but the age of the luxury pickup has passed.
I thought at the time it was an effort by Ford to make their existing Super Duty pickups look more sensible.
