But, I suppose that in a few years it will have to be to meet government standards.
Anyway, I like the new Expedition especially in that color red.
I would buy one if I needed it.
I'm happy with my 2001 Explorer.]]>May 30th 2007 12:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/May 30th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/May 30th 2007 4:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/May 30th 2007 1:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/May 30th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/
Jealous?]]>May 30th 2007 4:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/

Cencus shows that average family has 2.5 children.... a family with 3 children doesn't even need a car this big. A family of 3 can EASILY use an Accord or Camry or Impala...any midsize sedan.

I have to say in that book Lee RIPS Bush into pieces, the guy tells the truth. He said that Cheyney and his thugs are making sure USA becomes a whore of saudi arabia.

Let me write you something from his book

"The answer is simple: It's the oil. We have sold our soul for oil. And if that doesn't piss you off, nothing will. Our troops are being blown up in the Mibble East so we can bring democracy to Iraq, while we're in bed with a regime(saudi arabia) that would sooner see us wiped off the face of the earth. The only possible explanation is oil.

Oil is the reason we give fundamentalist, terrorist-breeding theocracy of saudi arabia a pass. Oil is the reason we can't get a goddamn energy policy in this country. Almost every important administration official has a connection to the oil industry"---Lee Iacocca...pages 88 and 89.



Folks read his book, it is only $15...Where have all the leaders gone?]]>May 30th 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/
Because as you and I know, money is what talks in Washington.

Are you a big record company, and you want to hijack the government to increase your profits and your control over your monopolistic hold on the market? Just send a few "gifts" and "contributions" to your senators.

Getting tired of decent alternative fuels that actually threaten your dead dino juice bottom line? Start funding alternative fuels that will never go anywhere, like ethanol.

Oh God Bless 'Meriga!

So you see, people do need a vehicle like this. So take your tree hugging rear somewhere else. ]]>May 30th 2007 3:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/
Why, both are SUVs driven for a few days and the milage is observed. I'm sure the Mazda was driven with more gusto but the fact that they overlap is credit to one and black eye to the other. ]]>May 30th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/May 30th 2007 4:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/May 30th 2007 1:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/Jun 3rd 2007 7:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-ford-expedition-el/ People still buy bloated SUV's?

There is a market for these things. I have no use for a tractor, but they still sell tons of them. If this vehicle is not for you, don't buy it. Move on and quit your whining.

Why on earth do people insist on telling other people what they should drive. How about the people with no kids, but coaches a soccer team or little league baseball team or a Pop Warner team. Or the person that owns a business, and can't afford two vehicles? Mine is a family of five. My Lincoln LS serves us fine on short to intermediate trips. Longer trips we rent a mini-van. Maybe three or four times per year. Wish I had a more utility vehicle for shopping trips, or hauling my daughter and teammates plus fencing gear around.

P.S. A family of 2.5 kids plus two parents don't fit so easily into those cars that you mentioned. Or, are you assuming that the avg. family, is a family of midgets.

I think it's very nice and didn't really notice a lot of variations as you mentioned. If there really are the numerous variations, they blend well enough to me.

I prefer the Limited model line with the color-keyed grille myself.

I see a lot of these on the road. Most are of the higher series models too. So, I think there's a larger market for them than most seem to think. ]]>May 30th 2007 2:57PM
