wait. what?
I love it. the headlights, grille, and interior look awesome though I do wish they would make the fog lights smaller because it looks goofy having them be bigger than the headlight projectors. I also really like that there are ***** for the temp instead of the up/down buttons my KR has. they even tidied up the chrome 20's and made those look halfway decent. it's a shame they're still wrapped in Pirellis.
I'm probably going to order a '13 next year. as long as the Lariat looks exactly as it does in these photos, that's probably what I'll go with.

So it looks to me like the various sync/mytouch/nav/display-size variations are (green being the one I like):

I also wonder if the non HID's will also come with projector lenses, as they do on other optional HID Fords like the Edge.

Here is a link to what the 2013 FX4 looks like,, according to the article you can get HIDs with the FX4 trim, I thought that wasn't the case according to the Ford press release? Hmmmm

"....The FX4 trim level sports a new grille and available HID projector headlamps...."
Well, that seems to clarify this a little more; I thought it would be really lame to bypass the FX4, with those new headlights and even one of those new grill options. This makes more sense, the modified C-clamp grill and the HID's, for the FX.
I really would prefer to get the FX4, over the Lariat, in the '13 MY, as long as it had the new goodies; so maybe, it seems, there is still hope!?
