Since I started this thread......I can hijack it.......

So I traded in one of my XFs for a Ford Escape Titanium AWD 2.0 L turbo......best 0-60 I've read about.....6.42 seconds.....not bad for a 3800 lb CUV. It's the tech that I really get a kick out of though.....voice actuated phone-climate-navigation & radio, blind spot warning, back up camera, remote hatch, remote start, keyless entry (just have key in pocket) , push button start, front and rear proximity sensors, cross traffic sensor, curve control......even parallel parks itself.

The touch screen looks high definition.......you can even play video/internet/ & wireless music from your phone........a second screen in front of the driver shows a lot of different info.....a cool image will show which wheels are being powered at any given time.

This 2.0 turbo is a $1000'option on the Explorer, Edge & Taurus......all are much heavier than the escape.....in those vehicles you can only get it with FWD. It's also the same engine in the Focus ST.....Evoque & a Jaguar.
