[QUOTE="Gringo185, post: 16295782, member: 42351"] Test drove one today and was very impressed. I think they nailed the exterior looks and the interior was very well laid out. I know the tablet interface is getting a lot of hate, but I love it. The move from bench seat to captains’ chairs is a game changer. As someone that uses the 3rd row and has car seats in the 2nd, a pass through is a must. Throttle response was great, acceleration was great, even the sound was good. That being said, if they are using the same cabin sound resonator that they use in the FoST, I’d probably delete it as I’m not looking for quite THAT much engine noise on acceleration. But overall, I was very happy with it. The catching point however, as it always is, is price. $55-60k is a lot to swallow for an Explorer (that’s base model Expedition territory, although significantly more fun to drive). I will almost certainly end up with one in the driveway eventually, but it will most likely be a CPO. I’ve missed my FoST since the day I sold it and even though a hot hatch isn’t feasible anymore, I’m hoping this scratches that itch at least a little bit. [/QUOTE]
