Ron, this does remind me quite a bit of when the '05 reskin debuted...I was one of those that absolutely hated the redesign initially, but it has grown on me over time. Thankfully though, the '08 wont have to grow on me, I already like what Ford has done with the redesign, with one exception, the center stack on the dash...makes it hard to do anything aftermarket to the stereo. The stereo thing may not be an issue in the relative near future though based on things I've heard that some of the aftermarket companies are working on. One thing that I noticed and wish Ford would have done a lot sooner is moving the rear liscense plate from the trunk lid to the bumper...that will take care of a lot of the rattling issues those of us with loud stereo systems may have.
