X2! I couldn't believe it when I had someone ask me if these were only available to FDs or if anyone could get one. This guy thought the Expedition was the biggest thing Ford made for consumers and was pi$$ed he didn't know about the Excursion.

Just drove the wife's Honda to work today. I don't near the respect as I do when in the eX. In a small car, you get cut off, pulled in front of, tailgated, passed and overall disrespect of your space. On the other hand, that Honda rides as tight and steers as well as it did on day 1 - now with 120K.
(can't say the same for the ole eX)...
but worth every wandering mile (or Km for youse up dere)!

I too experience the "lack of respect" from other drivers as well as getting flipped off twice and called an a**hole by some blond in a Kia SUV. People are downright hostile to that Chevy Malibu compared to the Ex.

That's kinda how I felt, too. I think I really scared him the way I confronted him when I got out of my truck. Then when I realized what he wanted I calmed down a bit

It's been a while, but I've had it happen. And if they thought that they were maxed out on their personal unhappy-meter when they got to the house, they learned that the scale on the plug-in replacement for that gauge allows them to be an order of magnitude more unhappy....
