Ford and Microsoft Sync System

Anybody have this in their car? I bought a new Expedition with this thing in it. Say what you will about american cars and say what you will about Microsoft, but this Sync system is awesome. I think Ford exclusivity runs out after this year. I would expect almost every car company to get on board with this thing. The ads on TV don't do it justice.

I bought a 2009 Ford Fusion about 3 weeks ago and the Sync was actually one of the reasons I was very interested in the car. That and what I got in terms of car was much more value in the fusion than in the imports that I looked at buying. I love it. I'm still having some minor getting use to with it finding songs on my mp3 player but it's a winner, imo. I agree that the ads don't do it justice.

Was thirsty today. Hit the button and said, "Destination; Point of Interest; Restaurant; Sonic." On the navigation system appears directions to the closest Sonic. How friggin' cool is that?

Didn't really want to buy it but considering that my car got totaled, I really didn't have much of a choice.

No, but you could make a pretty cool aquarium out of it.
