Ran across these on another site http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1910776

The grill looks the same as the Sport Trac, except with a painted bumper?

I still don't like the front-end. Hopfully they don't do anything like that to the Ranger

Not all new, just some "refreshing" to the exterior. Trying to make it look more like the new Sport Trac I guess.

Yeah, looking sweet! Kinda got that Range Rover thing going on in the rear. They need to include those cool fender vents from the Sport Trac Adrenaline across the trim range.

I am on the fence with the grille. It reminds me too much of the styling direction of Audi/VW.

Agreed. Aren't those rims off of an Aviator? Although I won't complain if the 4.6 gets the 3 valve treatment.

Nice improvement. I think the circular beams look better on the adrenaline, and this is a HORRID color combo to jusge on (black+gold/tan? shudder) but it looks good. The Biggest beef I always ahd with the current one waas that everything below the grille/headlights looked like crap.

I like it. The current one is getting dated.
