When we first started working on this Explorer, it became evident that crossovers are the hot spot in the market. Customers are looking for the refinement and fuel economy advantage that they can only get in a crossover.

We have young customer targets, in their 20s and 30s, and the Internet is perfect for that.

But, by making improvements to Explorer (and the next Expedition) we can still reach customers who want the traditional SUV.

Steady progress is being made on the issues, but there is still some left to go through. We're looking at several hours left, certainly, if not longer.

There's a spirit of cooperation between the two sides. We disagree on some things and we're working to resolve those disagreements, but there's certainly a shared understanding of the competitive challenges that we both face and we're going to work on it.

This is all about runaway litigation and trial lawyers forcing businesses to make unfortunate decisions for fear of lawsuits.
