Park assist - They forgot to mention Taurus. I thought the new T has it too. 2. Ecoboost 3. Work Solutions for E and F series. They did mention the MKT on there. And I do NOT believe the Taurus has Park Assist available, that's why it's not listed. That SplitView screen from Mercedes was/is pretty cool.

rmc523 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 no synch? thats perplexing.....and what about massaging seats? SYNC has been out for a few years now - I assume this was new-for-2009-model-year tech. And massaging seats have been around for years.

BORG Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Toyota/Lexus has a very interesting "mouse" interface. Generally I'm very skeptical of any joystick/mouse type of controlers, but it seems to convince the skeptics. The biggest problem with Ford Nav units is that they are always low on the dashboard so your hand can reach them, and you can't use certain functions at speed because they are unsafe to control. Personally, I would prefer to have the controls on the steering wheel and enhance the voice recognition interface, while positioning the display higher on the dashboard and maintining the touch screen flexibility.

Just like changing the station on your Radio? sigh... Not to mention most newer Fords have the Radio/Nav units up higher on newer cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
