Here in Canada, when unveiled, Ford Canada president said that it was included on all new fords (including the focus) as a standard option.

Maybe thats just in Canada here though, or maybe they changed their mind]]>Aug 9th 2007 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
I think he meant it would be available as an option in most new Ford vehicles, which makes sense as the entire line post 2006 use the same 4 head units, with two other models available for the Lincoln/Mercury line. I hope this hits showfloors soon, because if I like what I see I might get one for my 05 F-150 if I can make it work with it.

I think I read the transcript of that same speech, as I could have swore it was right after that he mentioned something about the popularity of the Mondeo over in europe, and how he'd like to blend it with the Fusion, thereby bringing the Mondeo's styling to the US while making 90 percent of the parts standard across both lines. ]]>Aug 10th 2007 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
seriously... wtf? why not try fixing your quality issues before coming out with something that has nothing to do with how the car runs. make better cars first.]]>Aug 9th 2007 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 10th 2007 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
Personally I would rather drive a superior-driving Honda, but quality is not a big issue anymore for these automakers.]]>Aug 10th 2007 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/

yes gm and dodge do good things too, dont get me wrong, but dodge uses cummins diesle engines...owned by ford!!! and gm's always have more hp, yet fords payload/towing is always rated higher. how does that work? oh ya! a quality built frame and structure! ford can do more, with less i guess.]]>Dec 4th 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Dec 4th 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
But on a side note, this is a very good step for ford. Its innovation and integration like this which Detroit needs to throw into their cars to make them desirable again. You just have to have the fun/cool factor to sell cars these days, and good mpg. ]]>Aug 9th 2007 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 9th 2007 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 11th 2007 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 9th 2007 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 9th 2007 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 10th 2007 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
My only complaints are the turning radius is horrible, and the transmission (which is actually made by Toyota) is sometimes unresponsive. Lots of power, great handling, roomy interior, reasonably priced (especially for an AWD sedan), looks pretty good, and gets decent gas mileage. ]]>Aug 10th 2007 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 10th 2007 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/

LOL. And you've actually used it right? I thought not.

It's very cool and the integration is so much better than the clunky ipod adapters from everyone else, with the possible exception of Pioneer.]]>Aug 10th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 10th 2007 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
Why do forum trolls love to make such broad, vague, and inflamatory statements without backing them up in the slightest?

The F-150 continues to outsell every other car in it's class so obviously they are doing something right. I'm sure Honda and Toyota make wonderful little sedans and rice burning hatchbacks, but when it comes to working trucks they can't even begin to compete with Ford or GMC. People who spend more time watching car commercials then actually looking under and inside the cars themselves should refrain from making such absolute statements regarding quality. Then again, not like this is a perfect world we live in or anything. ]]>Aug 10th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/
That just get's more and more clever everyime I hear it, especially when them that are saying can't even spell worth a damn. Ever wonder why Ford owners spend such little time bashing the competition? Might want to consider it has something to do with complete satisfaction in their vehicle of choice leaving them no reason to even worry about the other brands. Like the Bard said: "Me thinks he doth protest too much."]]>Aug 10th 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/fords-sync-phone-dap-integration-gets-priced-at-395/Aug 23rd 2007 3:15PM
