Ford bringing SYNC to all trim levels and reducing its cost!

Ford's been pushing SYNC in its autos since 2007, but you wouldn't have known it had you opted for the base trim level on your ride. Thankfully for those who appreciate the basics, that's a-changing. The automaker is aiming to entice more potential owners by offering the voice-activated infotainment systems across all levels for $295 (down from $395, where optional), starting with its 2012 Edge and Explorer models. To sweeten the deal even further, it'll also become standard on SEL variants for the first time -- before, it was a luxury previously reserved for Limited and Sport. Ford plans to roll out the system across its entire lineup in three years time, bringing the 2013 Ford Taurus, Focus, Escape and Flex into the fold. You know, options for all of you who aren't hip on the all-American, gas-guzzling SUV. Full PR past the break.

This looks like the way of the future for most automakers. Some kind of sync touch screen system.

Eh, I still like my aftermarket headunits and Ipod's better. Although I have never had a "sync" system before either.

I'd still like to try this out some time.

well jon, when you plug your ipod into the sync, it works and the head unit is covered under factory warrenty, you win either way i think.

I like my sync. Lots of features I still don't use. One of these days I need to read the book.

Does that mean all models will get that neat-o LCD screen that looks as it's off an ATM from 1988?

That thing is so retro......
