I've had those lights in the Focus and Fiesta. I REALLY like them, but do find the Tron blue to be a bit too bright. I usually left it on the green or, if my lady was in the car, pink. Still, as long as they're properly placed (not distracting to the driver), I wish they were in every car - makes me a much more calm driver.
The MyFord Touch interface looks further out (so not impossible to reach the bottom left corner), but now I wonder if it'll suffer from glare. It's an intriguing concept.
Seriously?! This parking assist is going to be trouble. 1) if it fails, then liability is 100% on Ford since the driver won't even be in the car, and 2) if the spot is so tight that you can't get out, then for f^cks sake, don't put your car in that spot! Find a better one and get some exercise.
I don't mind redesigns that are evolutionary rather than revolutionary. When things are done from scratch, we tend to lose the things we love about the previous generation. Case in point - Blackberry.
