This car will probably sell???

Not my cup of tea..The one at the local dealer stickered for more than a MM..........Go figure......Ford is going to have to deep discount those just like there new vans.......
Why not just put the right price on the thing to begin with?The freestyle looks like the taurus wagon 12" higher off the ground & 10 K added to the price.... :confused:

I've got nothing against the concept of a CVT but:
1. I DON'T want to be Ford's R&D dept. on their new CVT
2. 200 hp V6, 3850 Lb vehicle, CVT in the middle...you do the math.
3. I like to hear my engine wind up through the gears...you remember the old Cheech & Chong movie...."WAHHHH, First Gear, WAHHHHH, Second Gear,..."
