They nearly look like twins. Cousins even. Honeycomb or a flat black grille would make the Ranger look more kick***.

Are these both European? Australian?

Only thing I don't really like on the colorado concept is the front end/grille setup.

I'll pick Ranger just because it's a Ford, but I hate those Tundra-looking headlights on the Ranger.

Agreed.

And I think they will be sold everwhere (Asia, Europe, Down Under). Except the US won't get the ranger.

Yeah they are very similar. The bezels should be updated like the colorado concept's. But overall I still prefer the ranger's look

I don't think either one is awesome but I'll say in the other thread there was some comments made about the huge tailights on the Colorado..man the Rangers are way larger.
I think overall the colorado looks more coherent but the rangers interior gets the nod. Plus the ranger is a 4 door and that is an immediate strike against for me.

The Colorado has a very Maloo-esque vibe with that rear window area. I do like that about it.

Neither are show stoppers, but the Ranger is less mundane than the Colorado. The styling on both are a bit fussy and not terribly cohesive, redolent of committee design than any true artistic focus.

Nothing terribly horrible -- that would never make it out of committee -- but nothing particularly inspired either -- that didn't make it out of committee either.

2.5L I4 petrol
2.2L I4 diesel
3.2L I5 diesel

And that's for the rest of the world. This Ranger is not for sale in the USA.

Man, thats what you get when you let a Fusion go out on a date with an F-150 and dont say anything about safe sex and the chevy looks like it is the result of a three-way between a malibu, silverado, and a camaro (interior).

The Ford looks like a miniature Tundra, and the Chevy looks like a Honda Ridgeline. They both suck IMO.

Last month in Greece I saw a current generation of European Ranger. It looked pretty good, but it looked so small parked next to Dodge Ram (which had to park on the sidewalk since it was too big for a parking space).
