Nice. I've driven quite a few Freestyles (Taurus X, whatever) and I like them overall. Although the CVT was very hard to adjust to after driving my GA.

yea the freestyle was kinda lame, i drove them in my last job. this is way nicer with the larger (faster) motor and the 6 speed auto. that CVT was a piece.

Wow... doesn't look very Taurus-like anymore... almost crossover-ish.

I hope those tires treat you better than those awful ContiSports that came OEM on my Spec V... worst tires I've ever used. Although since the tread cracked and separated, maybe it was better than continuing to drive on them when it rains.

I was just thinking the same as most voiced here.. doesn't look at all like a Taurus to me! but nice, the paint is pretty slick, nice company vehicle!

it is a crossover, i assume thats the purpose of the "X".

thanks nic. yea its NOT a taurus, its just a marketing thing i guess for ford. its a Freestyle, but with an explorer style grill and headlights. the interior is Leaps and Bounds better than i remember the freestyle having.
