Reigner92 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think this is really good looking. and i think that maybe a next generation Escape/Kuga....should/might look like this. I also think that the American Ford Escape needs to keep the Escape name...it kinda has some followers, and when people Say Ford Escape...it does click. Anyways here is the link. http://www.channel4.com/4car/gl/gallery/gallery/26280/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the Euro Fusion is to be dropped (at least in name) to eliminate the confusion between the US and EU Fusion. I agree about the Escape name, even though it's replacement will be nothing like it's predecessors in design. Escape is an established name in the US, and especially with Mulally, I would be astonished to hear of a name change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought they might change the name to emphasize that their vehicles are going global. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) 'Ford' is already global as I said elsewhere, I expect Mercury & Lincoln to put in appearances on the world's stage much sooner (& with smaller packages) than most thought... Kuga-Escape and MKG could be 'cousin' vehicles globally just like Capri could well be badged as Mercury everywhere. This^ is how I see Phase 1; Phase 2 (Au?) is perhaps a bit more (still) mysterious Edited August 6, 2009 by 2b2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I just thought they might change the name to emphasize that their vehicles are going global. Yeah, I understand. I just think it's unlikely for the Escape's name to be changed, since people know what it is and such......it'll be the same situation when the Mondeo and (US) Fusion are merged - I see both of them keeping their names as well.
