    I know this is just a concept car and not a station wagon, but the possibilities are there and endless. Have any of you ever seen this? I like the idea of a full size Ford muscle car.

    The front end looks like it morphed into the Ford Flex. No replacement for displacement!

    I believe the '427' concept dates back to 2008 or so - maybe earlier.

    I wonder how they can justify the car based on todays CAFE standards.

    I may be crazy, but if you click on the picture it takes you to another page where it mentions a 2003 Anaheim auto show.

    It is from a 2003 autoshow but the word out is that it is coming in the 2014 lineup. Think about this before you speak. A full size car with all the bells and whistles that can pass the lights in under 13 seconds! Pretty cool if you ask me.

    What word? Do you have a link to an article alluding to this? All the info I found was either related to the old 6.8L v-10 or the 2003 release of the 427 v-10 concept.

    I don't care whats under the hood, cool as it is. I think it is so hideously ugly that the design team should quit their day job and become professional karaoke singers.

    I think that the term style has gone from what consumers want to what "they" tell you that you should want and it is t just concerning cars. It is music (popular "pop" songs and radio) and fashion (see any freakin magazine that tells women how they are supposed to dress and look and that reminds them that no man on the planet will love them if the don't weigh 90 pounds, have a tiny rear and a chest that you can see from miles away. I'm glad my wife doesn't feel like she has to do that. I love her the way she looks and I know that she loves me the way I look. I like older vehicle's styles. I drove a 2010 Toyota rent-a-can and I felt like I was driving an aluminum bath tub that may or may not stop when I need it to. I have driven an 80s Cadi hearse, Lincoln hearse, Buick hearse, Ford F? pickup, GMC Sierra van, Chevy? Full size luxury van, Buick Park Avenue, Mercury Marquis Station Wagon, Dodge Ram and Dodge Power Wagon Ram, 90s Buick Riviera, Chevy Monte Carlo, Chevy? Pickup, a 2000 Suzuki Esteem :bowdown: , a 2003 Kia Optima :vomito: and I know that there are others that I can't remember. Basically I like vehicles that not only have a unique style but also feel solid and safe just to sit and ride in them. I don't trust or feel safe with most of these newer vehicles. I feel like too many of them are designed to be computerized soda can disposable cameras with wheels...
