Ya i think that fits nicely. I guess it could be worse. Maybe they're making it uglier to make the Edge look more appealing.

I think they've just given up altogether and will rely on Mazda to do something better with the same platform.

What exactly did they do wrong? It's supposed to give small suv's a smaller look, yet mimic the looks of their larger brothers. Besides, it looks better than the current model imo... bolder looks to it, without making it look like a mini me monster truck, that would be :fag: I think.

The extra cladding doesn't help, but that front end just has nothing to make it stand out from anything else in the Ford Truck lineup.

It's the same problem I think, they ran into when they re-designed the '05 Focus, in a bid to have it mimic the 'corporate identity' (Ford Five Hundred) they lose out on what made the car/truck a styling sucess in the first place... the originality.

ground-breaking.

It's like Ford is digging their own grave. Design something people would actually WANT to drive.

looks ok, would like to see one up close before I make a judgement.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Without seeing it really close I can't say for sure but based on those pics I donno it doesn't look that bad. I kinda like the front end.

I'm sure it will be popular as a rental vehicle. That is all Ford makes isn't it?

I dunno.. it's like the chicken and the egg..

Q:Which came first? Hertz or Ford?

only the chicken is looking more and more like the egg.
