Ford has "explored" all options and seems to be delivering the goods right this time.

@ carguy: Because front drive saves weight, which saves on overall fuel consumption. Unfortunate fact of life, when companies now have to get of their tails and finally give us vehicles that don't require a personal friendship with an oil company to own.

At that price though, it's going to be in the same consideration category for people looking to get into a Chevrolet Traverse. Will GM drop their Ecotec 2.0L turbo into the Traverse to compete? Interesting times ahead, I assure you...
