I own a Ford Explorer and I bought a new 2011 Escape because I think it looks like the little brother to my beautiful "boxy" Explorer. (New Job, longer drive, needed higher gas mileage)
I traded in a car that only had 70.000 miles on it to get the Escape before Ford ruins it's rugged good looks for that Gay looking restyle.
I like everything about it and I think Ford should have continued to refine it , maybe rear disc brakes !
What if VW had after a few years had listened to some idiot say the VW Bug is getting long in the tooth after a few years, they would have sure lost out on a lot of sales !
The redesign of the bug sure flopped !
I just wish Ford would rename the Escape redesign and call it something else because it is not going to be an Escape , maybe call it the Edsel II ?
