I thought they would do more than change the front.

That silver bar front-end is so played out already. Sticking it on a few hundred thousand delivery vans is really going to go a long way toward building a prestigous corporate image and shedding the rental fleet stigma.

i like it a lot.
Does anybody actually care whether a vehicle like this get updated styling? This thing is bought by companies to do work and that's it.
It woulda been nice if they updated the interior a little bit though, it looks right out of the mid nineties.

The interior is prob the only thing extra that they should ahve touched up...in the article it states how changeing the main part of the truck would mess up the whole industry in customization and tooling...and they don't want to hurt sales by alienating the target audience.

Ford has completely lost touch with what customers are looking for.

Um, no this is exactly what E-eries customers are looking for. A mild update which improves the van without changing the mechancicals so much it forces them to retool their conversion equipment.
