The market is so in flux. The Lexus and Highlander and Mariner has been viewed at the NY Auto Show this week but not many details with which to compare Ford.

I wonder if it might be better to wait a bit longer and wait to write a better article with more info.

Let us know your wishes.

Mike,
Just my .02 cents here. I would suggest a 2005 review because:

1. 2006 doesn't look all that different(the few exceptions being the moonroof and "luxery group"(sp?).

2. There are several 2005s left. One look at eBay tells you the dealer gouging has had a negative effect on sales. The dealers just aren't getting the high prices they had hoped. Ford dealers better get their thumb outta' their a$$ or they will be stuck with more 2005s as the 2006s come in.
(personally I hope take a bath on the FEH(dealers). Serves them right for trying to gouge everyone for the last 6 mos.
