We had them at work today for a Intro Party. I drove this white one a little bit. It rides really nice and handles great. The power is there if needed and just flawlessly pulls the load. While others drove, I sat in the second row. Lots of room for my 6' body, like sitting relaxed in a chair in a room.
It's about 20-24" longer than the XB, and a few inches higher. Much nicer and it's a Ford.
It's a new direction for Ford to try and capture their market share of people wanting products such as this. Something has to change for Ford to survive the long term. New ideas and features will constantly change the auto landscape, we just happen be in the middle of major things going on right now with US manufacturers. It's only the beginning of smaller, sportier, family movers.
