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?

 

love that new front end

 

 

yea i like it...needed an update

 

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

 

New Explorer already?

 

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

OLD:

NEW:

 

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.

 

Looks awesome

 

I like current one better.

 

same

 

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 lower front bumper looks like its off a expedition

 

I see the R R in it...not quite sure about that little boulbus thing on the headlights on the bottom but good going ford...much sportier.

 

I like it. The current one is getting dated.

 

The rear is starting to look a little Lincoln'ish which I like!
