for the "fugly" sensative....

I think the T-Connect would be a lot of fun to customize into a little custom van kind of thing. I hope somebody is already making some aftermarket interior side panels for it. I don't like the open frame look and I didn't see any options from Ford to have it any other way other than custom shelving you have to go to a specialty shop for. I bet the specialty shop could make custom panels but at what cost? Also I would like to see a rubber floor option like our Sport Tracs but I didn't see that option either. And I also want Sirius satellite radio but I didn't see that as well. Darn this thing is going to cost me a bundle by the time I get done with it. I did see in an article that there will be a diesel in the near future.

Yes, if someone made an A-Team styled Ford TC, that would be awesome.



...and despite its small stature, it couldn't blaspheme the legendary A-Team any worse than the pending Summer 2010 (July 11 iirc) movie looks to.



Think about it, all the hidden compartments lead to great storage without obstruction of cargo capacity, and tracked swivel chairs allow convienent access and movement to and about your cargo (desks, machinery, etc) while the van is in motion, without sacrificing safety.



The nitrous oxide wouldn't be a bad thing either :grin:



Remember those commercials with vans doing cool acts, mostly clips of the A-Team, that Honda used for its "Respect the Van" commercials? Ford should stage something like that, actually USING the FTC, and better music. Stupid advertising works--if stunts sell minivans to soccer moms, they can sell to businesses. After all, the A-Team was a private business...

Ugly to some...not to most... kinda like the ST and the t-connect.

The ST ain't ugly.



How does only having one backup light work out for you?



I posted a pic from a movie earlier here, and in that movie, there was an Escalade which, despite starting life with TWO backup lights, saw fit to slap on 2 more. (Interesting to see in a movie, aside).



I could stand to have more on the ST, and here your are satisfied by your Cyclops ride?



It looks like a baby flex, minus the chrome.

 

[Doug Roland]

I did not say the ST was ugly. I said "ugly to some", along with the xB.



The back up light serves its purpose. Yes, I would like to have one on the other side, but the one works just fine. But I don't drive it that much, let alone, drive it in reverse that much. :grin:

I like the Flex also. Just not the price tag.



Gary, is your xB an '06?

 

[Kevin Lang]

The ST is not ugly to anyone, it cannot be. Those who profess its ugliness are deplorably lying...to themselves.



:banana:

 

[Doug Roland]

I had one guy come to me and say... " ya know, I didn't like those things before... but the more I see it, the more I like it." I told him "sometimes you just have to experience some things before you judge!" ah, my plan is working!

 

[gary s]

wow kl,



as with cayman, you find the most ridiculous reasons to hate. pretty sad :sad:



pappy,



like the coulour of your xb. yes mine is an 06. i purchased it from my fleet at lease end.

pretty basic, added fogs, rear roof spoiler and new wheels/tires.

you have mail

 

[Kevin Lang]

as with cayman, you find the most ridiculous reasons to hate. pretty sad

What is truly sad are your insecurities in your vaunted product. I ask about the lights, or should I say light, with embellishment so that it is known why I am asking the question, and you're jumping to your guns, straining at the leash, callin' me a hatah as the vernacular goes...



It must be tiring going around half-cocked, ready to explode at any perceived affront to a toy's honor. :bwahaha:



Now, if you want reasons to hate that are justified, put up pictures of your spoiler on an Xb

 

[Doug Roland]

Thanks Gary. My son has an '06 as well. Same color as yours.

2 fugly's in the family :banana:

 

[Doug Roland]

Yup! lol not "fugly" to me, though!

:banana:



I can see the Trans connect hitting it big here in the Northwest, with the windsurfing crowd.

 

[Shaun Tucker]

[gary s]

larue,



go for it. your logo looks great on the t-connect and the config i had on my demo would probably work well for your biz needs. :grin:
