Deffinitely fuel efficient.  Is it going to be available only to the Amish?  I'm under that impression by the pic.

I'm wondering why Ford is going with different diameter wheels?

Looks like Ford still has problems making seats with proper back support.

The larger rear wheels give it a sportier stance, of course.

Very powerful engine too...a 4 cylinder, 1 HP engine...ecstatic!

(4 cylinder...4 horse hooves  ;)  )

Definitely an upgrade over the current model.

The interior is pretty bland, although you have 100% visibility as a tradeoff to the bland interior.  B)

I wonder how many bolts tie that bed to the frame?  :blink:  Quite a few by the looks of it!

Sorry about that...it was at different times throughout the night because I had nowhere else to post, so I would post here.  But...I guess I could've edited them... :ph34r:

I spent 2 hours last night on the freeway with my '86 Ranger last night and it sure is loud and stiff riding. The suspension definately looks much more sophisticated on this prototype.

The power of that 4-cylinder is still just mind boggling to me...I mean seriously! ONE horsepower!  Incredible!

I'm sure the driver can attest that it is NOT a ZEV...(yuck, yuck :P )
