I like it. It's time to evolve. The current Exploder is stuck in the 20th century.

Ford knows what its doing now. I have faith in them to get this right.

I agree. I like it so far, but the black plastic on the front is a bit much.

It's only a development mule. When you're prototyping a myriad of front fascias, grilles, etc, it makes no sense wasting money on painting them when they're ultimately destined for the crusher. The production fascias will be painted.

I like it, I think it's a step towards design progression.

FWD is lame though

give me a driveshaft or give me death!

Looks like every SUV will almost look the same from now on Reminds me of the Outlander and the Tucson.

I was hoping for a bit more Explorer Concept styling, but from what I see I like . . . .

And moving to 'Other Fords' section.
