People, people, people. Ford cannot keep trying to design cars for you old folks, or design a differenct car for NA because we think we are special from the rest of the world. That plan failed remember and Ford lost tons of money. Ford has to chase the younger buyer, and that buyer wants sleek and technical. The existing Escape would never have sold in Europe and you all know. Hell, I'm 45 and I want the new IPHONE not a phone designed 10 years ago. And it is the same with cars.
The new Escape will be great once the wraps are off and it gets the full Ford treatment. Of course the concept is better, but they always are.
Good job Ford and keep up the good work. I cant wait to see the new Fusion and MKZ.
