Spotted a 2011.5? EB on the way home today

Sorry for the crap pics but it is all I could manage from my i phone while staying in my own lane.

First off this thing will be durability tested based on the way this guy was driving it (like he stole it). 90+ mph with some bursts of WOT acceleration.

Things I noticed:
-No noticeable exhaust tone when cruising next to it but the exhaust has quite a bark to it when the gas is stomped.

-The decal in the back window had some ID numbers on it along with "2011.5 TT". This could be a hint to the relase timeline for the EB.

-This was an "off road package" lariat based on the decals.

-The ecoboost logo on the lower door is hard to see in the pics but its there.

-From the piles of mud on the step bars he did at least a little off roading with it.

-The front end looks a little lower than current 4x4 lariats, you can see the rake in the pic but it could have been an illusion.

When you plug your iphone into your computer. It should come up as a device. Go to Start > Computer > Devices > double click on iphone > go to folder with pics > drag selected pics to desktop

They should be a lot larger than these. Or just upload it to imageshack or something similar.

Nice shots small pics or not! Must be cool being in and around Detriot seeing all the prototypes sneaking around.

First thing I have to get rid of is that EB badge.

Don't want to green leaf on my truck. I'll need a custom "TwinForce" badge.

Mark my words...

This thing is a disaster looking for a place to happen. 6-bangers are for minivans.

Laugh at me now... Four years from now, I'll pull this post up and say "Told ya so".
