JD Power does a survey based on how much vehicle owners "love looking at and driving them". The X took first place in the full size SUV category.

My wife is always mentioning how more and more people are noticing and rubbernecking our Excursion [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Regular owners of other SUV's and PSD's alike walk right up and say hey that's a nice truck you got there [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, they seem to have changed their minds. I think it's definitely here for 2005, and I'd bet it's got at least until the big Superduty redesign before it meets the axe.

Marketing marketing marketing. I was up in Ontario, Canada last summer with my X. I pulled into a grocery store and a gentleman walked up to see exactly what it was I was driving. He had never seen one before. 20 miles North of Niagra ain't exactly the boonies. At another store, we saw two guys in an X just stare. Guess they never saw one of them there X's with a diesel. It was the only other one I saw the whole time...and I think they were test driving it. Do the environMENTALists really have Ford so freaked out that they're afraid to market it?

I live in Ontario amd see lots. Guess you were just in the wrong place or timing was off.

Hmmm. Must have hit 10 different Tim Horton's and didn't see one. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's funny about the Tim Horton's......we drove through Ontario last month and couldn't look out the window without seeing a Tim Horton's...

Tim Horton's is a tradition. We visit the outlaws every Summer and the first thing we do when we cross into Windsor is stop at Timmy's.
