At first glance, I dont like it. I thought it was a Toyota when I first layed eyes on it. The taillights are rediculous euro crap. Maybee this is just another way to throw us off?

You can see in the interior the seats have an alternate color piping.

Can they squeeze a few more button in on the dash?

I will have to reserve judgment on the front until I see a better picture. the rest of the truck did not change much.

Also in that big interior shot, something I haven't noticed before...the AUX input moved down near the cig. lighter. And do I spy with my little eye a USB port next to that? Sweet

The USB port is for the Microsoft "Sync" they've added to the 08' Focus and 09' F-150, everything is voice command, thus they don't come equipped with a screen, the screen on the top dash is just a clock. I seen this on the 08' Focus at the dealership and I for one don't like it. Big props on the AUX jack being placed on the bottom but I heard they started doing that on the 08" F-150 which mean that's not a change.

Huh?? I don't see any piping. That is stitching.

What is the big red button for? Hopefully, that is the James Bond ejector seat option!!

That stereo interface is awful compared to what we have now. The rest is great, except the tail lights which is very Titan inspired. Neat truck, but I need to see it lifted to be sure

Microsoft Sync huh, anyone care to explain? What about those poor broken english folk? I really do dislike radio interface, I'd like to put an aftermarket nav and it looks like it'd be quite difficult, I'd have to do some cutting! Lastly, it looks like someone forgot to put the silver trim back on the AC Vent.

I'm easy to please and I'm not overly thrilled, but am excited to see more. They always change a bit before release, hopefully that dash goes.

looking at that latest link w/ the enlarged pic of the truck's profile, there's a black spot on the corner of the hood next to the window. Is that the antenna or is that a vent?

Wireless connectivity for Bluetooth devices, like cell phones and PDAs. The USB port is used with flash drives to store and play music. The AUX port accepts MP3 players like Zunes and iPods. And it's all capable of voice activation.

I'm betting antenna... but, it seems like *everyone* in the automotive world is going toward a concealed antenna.

A little bit but it is still quite different. The Expy front goes up and out at the top of the headlights towards the hood. The side markers/head lights are quite a bit different, too.

meh... thats all I can really say. Doesn't do much for me, but I will have to see it in person. If they give us a diesal option and a 6 spd tranny... i think I will get past the looks
