Up until this date I've never owned a single Ford in my life but we are very happy with it! PS They offer 0% financing PLUS $1500 rebate on left-over 09s. This is the first time I've had an auto loan with no interest- it's great!
Nothing to laugh about...in case you haven't noticed, the Ford Flex looks almost exactly like the Lincoln crossover (MKX?). The only difference I can see is the grill, nicer interior, and a huge price difference. My husband likes them, but I don't...and since it'll be my car, I win.

So guys...help me understand something please. A few posts above, Jim explained the tax implications with a trade-in. Let's say I get $15,000 trade on my vehicle, but I still have a loan on it for around $15,000 as well. Do I still get that $900 savings (assuming a 6% tax rate)?
