The only thing that's really changed is that the suckage doesn't kill many people any more, but that's hardly a ringing endorsement.

You might try paying attention. (Second time). The current Explorer has no relation to the old one. It’s used as high speed pursuit across the country. It’s not a Charger, but next to nothing is. As an SUV, it’s impressive against any style vehicle.

Looking for ways to endorse an ancient opinion needs better examples.
