Not bad. I really wish they had improved the drivetrain as well though.

 

not bad.....but not really too different either. i like the more agressive front end but not a big fan of the center counsol.....well mainly how the CD player is set up, too much like the mazda 6, which in my opinion isnt a good thing

 

Too much Ford Edge.

 

The Edge represents the new corporate look so expect more vehicles to have it. Personally, I like it.

 

It's alright. Still a tad bland if you ask me, but oh well. I'd still drive it.

 

looks almost the same... and i really don't like that grill.looks like a mid 90's ford ranger grill.

 

Yeah, I think the 3 bar grill from the Edge would have looked far better.

 

Yeah, its not a radical enough makeover for my likings. And yeah.. that grill, not such a fan. I'd rather they put the 3-bar grill, even if it risked making this thing too much like the Edge.
Seems like this is a hybrid model too, check out the vent in the back left window.

 

Still not impressed. Looks like they're borrowed stylists from Dodge to design it.

I don't like the center console either. Makes it really difficult to install an aftermarket H/U.

I also wish Ford would build a small SUV that is more off-road capable again, like my Explorer Sport. The Escape is too fragile to play hard...and has no low range or full 4wd. Until then, I'm sticking with the old Exploder....or looking elsewhere if I have to.

 

Grille needs to fit the rest of the look more, but overall I'm pleased with it. A bit more "off road macho" added to the sleek Edge look.

 

Somehow I was expecting more. Not sure what, but more. I will say I'd have been a lot happier had it the DT35 under the hood. Considering you can now get the completely redesigned Hyundai Santa Fe with about 260hp for the same money, I'm almost falling off the fence.
