Wasn’t there rumors that the next f150 and maverick would come out before bronco?

Well that’s about the most boring suv I’ve ever seen. Looks more like a wagon than an suv. I can’t imagine this selling well.

Finally saw my first new Silverado today. This one was an LT trailboss. It was a dark blue color with the black front and wheels. I thought it actually looked pretty good.

Motor1 says this will be called the trailblazer and will slot between the trax and equinox. https://www.motor1.com/news/300850/chevrolet-trailblazer-return-rumor/

Yep, I agree. That’s part of the reason I posted this because at least in the pic, it looks to be larger than the trax, encore, eco sport , etc

In my opinion, the problem with Cadillac is their designs doesn’t age well.

https://www.carscoops.com/2019/01/2020-chevrolet-trax-teased-looks-like-baby-blazer/ Can’t see much, but from what you can see, it doesn’t look bad. The front looks good. The character lines throughout the side might be a bit much.

I am completely aware that it has more features, but looking at it from the outside, it doesn’t really stand out. In fact, watching the live stream yesterday I kept wondering what trim they were in because none of them looked more luxurious then the other.

Exciting to hear the ranger will have bronco design cues.

I just don’t get the “top level trim” vibe from the platinum. This looks like a base explorer with shiny wheels. I can’t see myself paying 50k+ for this over the xlt.

Well there is one positive out of that, the screen has taken all the attention away from the grille!

best looking one by a mile. All the cheap black cladding also blends in better when everything else is black. Also the touchscreen doesn’t look that bad in this pic.

I am not a fan of chrome either, but the horizontal lines with the honeycomb is too busy to me. I’d much prefer the plain honeycomb in gloss black, which I’m sure will appear on the ST.

Yeah, but I think it’s worth it. Fords screens have been behind the competition for a while now. I rode in a friends Jeep Grand Cherokee the other day and it’s screen was so clear. It looked to be hd and made fords look like sd. Not to mention the graphics used were much better.

I was hoping for better honestly. The chromed honeycomb grill looked ok, but the other one with the honeycomb and horizontal bars looks terrible. The 10” center screen looked like an after thought. If you don’t like the tablet look, you are gonna hate this. I was also disappointed in the wheels. They looked similar to the titanium wheels on the current escape. And all that plastic cladding made what I assumed to be a platinum model look cheap. i will say the one bright spot was the 12” gauge cluster. That looked awesome and it’s seriously making me consider waiting on a ranger lariat until it comes with that.

https://www.carscoops.com/2019/01/2020-ford-escape-kuga-revealing-photos-show-stylishly-focus-ed-design/ more pics of a different escape. For some reason this one looks a bit better to me but I’m not sure why lol.

Glad you said something, I’ve been checking all morning looking for pics lol.

"It's gonna be very fast." Stander was more forthcoming, saying, "We're shooting for a two-second Shelby." that would make it faster than any of the GT’s ford has came out with.

Yep, i always get the sport appearance package on anything I buy to get rid of as much of it as I can.

I like the honeycomb grille insert better. I wish cars would get away from using plastic chrome on them all together.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a25775251/superformance-ford-shelby-gr-1-concept/ this seems pretty cool. Not that I’d ever be able to afford one, but the gr-1 was one of my favorite concepts from that era.

the implementation of this grille works a lot better on the focus. The grille and headlights appear larger on the focus. You’d think it would be the other way around. Also, the positioning of the headlights is much better on the focus. On the escape, the headlights are completely above the grille. This gives it an appearance of a smiley face and reminds me of this Miata. They could fix this design by taking a lot of the slope out of the hood and having a more upright front. Make the grille larger and move it up higher. Put the headlights on the side of the grille instead of above it.

Do you think since maverick has already been leaked that we will get to see it this auto show season? i currently have a 2017 escape and the size is almost perfect, unless you are the person who has to sit behind me. Is the maverick supposed to have the extra leg room that the new escape was supposed to get?
