At least Ford hasn't used the same grill design for like 30 years.

I don't know that I'm digging that snoot. Sorta looks like something an Ork would drive in one of the Lord of the Rings movies while he's going after Frodo.

I can't decide. I like the old one, but not sure about this one. Certainly not in the same league as the aztec, and it's certainly not a srt8 grand cherokee. I'd have to see it in person and maybe a better color choice.

LOL, but you recognized the movie, so you've already set your self up as having possibly watched it. I think you created your own hole there. No beer needed... :mrgreen:

A recent Autoweek review of the 2013 model said that the 2012 Escape is selling better than any previous model year.. It may be the price, but I suspect it's because the old one looks like an SUV, not a bad interpretation of a Japanese cross-over.

I just, for the first time, was up close to a Nissan Juke. That wins the award for the ugliest car in current production. I think they must have made it ugly on purpose, it wouldn't be bad if they would extend the rear roof line.
