Anyone else notice the GT500KR and 2009 F-150 in this photo?

THIS INTERIOR CHANGE IS HORRIBLE. FORD IS LOOSING MARKET SHARE TO GM BECAUSE BUILD A CHEAPER (PRICE), AND MUCH CHEAPER (QUALITY) VAN THAN FORD. THAT IS PROOF THAT PRICE TRUMPS QUALITY IN THE CARGO VAN/FLEET BUYER WORLD.

I feel that Ford has made some very nice changes to the exterior of their van line. I am even all right with most of what they have done to the interior, however I feel that the location of the radio/GPS/reverse camera monitor could not have been incorporated into a more dangerous location. How far away from the road does the driver have to take his eyes in order to figure out where he is going? I don't believe that I would order a GPS unit in a new van for that very reason. I would rather have a Garmin stuck to the windshield up closer to the view of the road. Plus why does Ford feel that having such a straight flat dash is a great idea. Why couldn't the center element have been directed more toward the driver? Just my thoughts.

I am one of the soccer moms that actually uses a van to haul kids, gear and groceries. Love the back up camera and the gps (about time) but lets get real... Ford, forget the carpet. I need a plastic flooring that I can spray out to get the mud, french fries and spilled chocolate milk off without a major clean up. I need you to price this thing to include all the extras instead of the 120 buck stupid add ons. Call any Catholic, Moromon or Homeschool moms group to help you plan the next one. All the best to you all.
