I don’t use my hazards, but I do flash my brake lights a couple times as I’m slowing down to hopefully catch the attention of the driver behind me. (I have a car with LED taillights so they flash brightly and instantly with the brake pedal.) I keep a bit of a gap in front of me too so I can either run off the side of

I agree on your styling comment. It isn’t necessarily a bad design language, it actually looks somewhat decent on the CT6 I think, but we’ve seen it on everything at this point. I’m bored with it now too! All they seem to be doing at this point is making the DRLs droop lower and lower into the front bumper and sweep

I’m not discounting your personal experience, but I have also gone on road trips in both a 2012 Explorer and a 2015 Edge and can say that for me, at 6ft behind a 6ft driver, the Edge was the better of the two in terms of rear seat space. But I have not personally used a new style GC, only the early 2000s ones and

I agree, I like this size of “SUV”. Most of the time the second row is roomier and has better ergonomics than in a three row crossover, and you get plenty of cargo space as well, even with passengers. The Lincoln MKX/Ford Edge are also really nicely practical like the GC. I’d certainly take this size SUV over a CRV,

Nice catch on the 10.2 inch display, I didn’t even register that when I read it!

I drove one off and on for about a year and it was actual a very nice car to drive! The powertrain was smooth (of course) and had very nice, immediate power for passing other cars. It handled very directly and rode smoothly. The brakes were touchy but easy to figure out. The biggest problems were that the battery

I have a Taurus and it is on the right (passenger) side of the vehicle too, but the Edge before getting this was on the left like you said. Ford definitely has no favoritism to one side or the other does it...

My Taurus is even over 200 inches, much of that going to the massive trunk at least.

Being that I live in Dearborn this observation is a bit unfair, but I do see lots of Black Label Continentals and MKXs running around here.

Neutral:

Thank goodness I’m not the only one who identified the cars, lol. Although I did not guess that it was an Explorer Limited, just knew it was an Explorer...

I daily commute between Dearborn and Southfield. In the mornings, I take Southfield FWY and it isn’t really too bad, but after work Southfield is a nightmare because so many people take it upon themselves to go 50 in the passing lane, and not let traffic merge onto the freeway with those horribly short on ramps. I

Oh boy, the Silver Lake crowd... Those are some of the most annoying people you can meet here in Michigan aren’t they?

I loved our Edge too. There was so much space inside of it and the Panoramic Roof/ambient lighting was awesome in 2010! I really want to get back into an Edge when I can afford one...

I was thinking the same thing about Raj Nair, he seems to be very good at what he does!

Yes, I should have said Cutlass Supreme (my bad) as the new Cutlass was on sale that year as well. So mine was actually an older design from the early 90s...

That’s true, I had a Focus Electric as part of an industry study for a while, and actually, most public stations are pay to use in the region I live anyway, Dearborn, MI. (They are almost all operated by ChargePoint.) So it isn’t that big a deal if you have to pay for the Supercharger use. I’d much rather do that than

My first car, a 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass, had this setup. The cruise control on/off and accel/resume, slow down, along with wiper speed, headlight high beams, turn signal, windshield washer were all controlled by the same stalk. It was by far the worst design ever. You couldn’t read the stalk icons because it is behind

Oh no the Traverse... Those get pretty good reviews and I just don’t understand it. The interior was awful on the one my friend had from the door panels to the dashboard it was just a sea of flimsy plastic and terribly shiny and stiff leather. Then, they had the power steering replaced three times, lots of creaks in

I just wish I could update from MyFord Touch to SYNC 3 in my car... I’d be willing to pay for them to do it too.
