Well not really... the Outlook is much beefier and looks like an SUV, whilst the Flex just looks like a looooong wagon.

Yes, I agree. The concept's proportions look MUCH better: Upon closer inspection, the production model has grown 12 inches compared to the Fairlane.

Bleh, the carbon roof is hideous.

I'm not sure the interior will look so great when the car finally hits dealers in one year.

Cool I guess...

What? How does your statement make any sense? Tariffs belong in the 1800s.

I would say that the black one is the biggest, and by looking at pictures I would say it is slightly smaller than a Scion xA.

There were tariffs for that? That's ridiculous.

Yuck, I do not like this at all. Why would you make a supposedly rugged, off-road SUV and base the styling on their most luxurious sedan?

Wow, it's much bigger than I thought. The interior looks quite nice, but I'm not sure the styling will go over well.

The exterior is OK, but very bland and dated. The interior looks absolutely foul!

You may want to hold off on that.. we have another 3 years at least until the Zeta Lucerne comes to the US.

These cars are all much smaller than you people realize...

Please explain how the interior is anything but low-rent.

Whoah, these are all very progressive designs. The Beat looks like a smaller version of that WTCC Rally concept thing, while the Groove looks very Scion-ish. The Trix looks cool. Too bad these cars are all totally tiny.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Except for the fact that it only has 2 rows and the interior is low-rate...

I'm off to France for the month of June (home base will be Rennes, but I will be going on daily excursions and trips). For the rest of the summer, I dunno. Maybe take a class or two.

It looks sad. I like the old one better, but this has some nifty features. Oh, and that interior looks crappy.

Is the Edge going to fleets in large numbers?

That is absurd..... wow.

I hate Amtrak--I used to take the Acela from Boston to NY Penn Station pretty regularly, and it was regularly a disaster. If you leave within 2 hours of the scheduled departure time, you've done pretty well. The train never ever gets up to its advertised speed, because it cannot tilt like it's supposed to (THEY MADE IT TOO WIDE BY ACCIDENT!!), the tracks are curvy, and local towns impose their own speed limits. Plus, it's very expensive. Not a great way to travel.

Hmm, good snooping. I think you may be right.

That's what I immediately thought of as well.

Unlikely, it comes out in mid-2009.
