    The front is a good implementation of the split headlight thing.  The front looks good, the back is meh.

     

    The interior is nice, if not busy with that weird reddish brown color.

    For Chineses, the red is a good color. Is a lucky one...  I hate that interior but the horizontal screen that looks stolen from my Mercedes-Benz A-180...

    Well maybe Ford needs the 6.8 V8 to compete with the new grand Wagoneer which has a 6.4 liter Hemi. It would not take much for GM to up the anti on a future gmc Delani to offer a light duty version of the 6.6 V8.  The Jeep 6.4 is at 471 hp with a cast iron block!

    ICE vehicles will be dead by 2030. The V8s are dead right now (only used in Mustang and some trucks). A new V8 for the big SUVs is a waste of money. The current V6 Ecoboost is the right choice, and the hybrid can fight every other engine from Stellantis .

  3. Every car need one design element that capture attention in one way or another. Generally, those design elements are controversial, some may look strange, but it is the elements that give character to the car, that make it recognizable and that put people to talk about it. For example, the strange roof of the 1986 Cougar, the rear end of the 1980 Cadillac Seville, or the black D pillar of the last Jaguar XJ ... This strange C-pillar is the characteristic element of the Bronco Sport ... people will talk about it and it will be its distinctive.

  4. The auto trends are ciclic. The new trend of high ride vehicles (crossovers/SUVs) is not new. Here some pics of the 1937/38 Fords, as high as a 2020 Explorer, with no trunks... in other words, a SUV/crossover of today...   In 10 or 20 years, the low ride, long and wide vehicles, like in the late 60s could be the trend , again...

  5. The Explorer nightmare continues....   This car needs a redone....ASAP. The interior is a mess in its design and materials/quality, and must be completly redone.The exterior needs a new grille, more in line with others Ford models (new Escape/Kuga, european Puma...). And the Chicago plant, where this car is assembled, needs a big shake out... with new managers and an strict quality protocol.

    The completly new and modern RWD Explorer cant take on the old Honda Pilot... this is a big failure, a great mistake from Ford.
