So this is the best that Ford can do with the redesign of one of its most popular vehicles??? This does not look rugged or sporty. I bet sales will be very poor. The people responsible for this redesign should be fired!!! What a dissapointment, and a huge mistake!!!
I have been a Ford customer for many years and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 2013 Escape. However, After seeing this video, and recent photos on the internet, I am very dissapointed. The new design looks like a wagon/mini van. I had hoped that the new design would mirror the Vertrek concept car, but they look very different. I was planning on leasing or buying the 2013 Escape, but with this new design and no V6, I will now look elsewhere. This is a big mistake for Ford!
The thing is... can the 4 cylinder tow anything? I mean like could it tow something like a bass boat or small utility trailer (stuff up to 3000 or so lbs, maybe they can squeak by with 2500lbs)? If not they are gonna loose a whole big market because most people aren't willing to upgrade to midsize SUV (/crossover) prices just to tow a fishing boat on summer weekends. They'll go to other brands.
i wonder lk how does it feel to drive a "camo" sovered car lk "omg someone keeps fucking following me wit a camera i must loosed them!....oh wait the "camo" hahaha forgot about that"
fuckin god damnit im so sick of manufacturers ditching their V6 and V8 trimmed cars in favor of 4 cylinders. everyone has such a huge hardon for FUEL ECONOMY BLAH BLAH. its just annoying.
Yup, ford kuga (look it up on wikipedia: same body shape). Why can't American companies bring actual new AMERICAN made cars and not existing one they made in Europe??? GM is the same too... -_-'
because it sold well, and is a great vehicle, so why NOT bring it to the US? I think its dumb that they'd even make BETTER cars for europe, and leave us with the shitty ones.
@lHiTMANll all I'm saying is why don't the make a COMPLETELY never before car made specifically for america mad in america!!! Why should an American company bring all its company's cars from Europe? Doesn't sound American -_-'
I liked the SUV looks of the last one, it set it apart from the rest of the crowd. I love looking out at flat hoods with distinct edges like that. Too bad they're going away. . .
@TheHm3 So it's bad to hate someone for their skin color, but it is okay for you to react with that same animosity towards individuals with different political beliefs? It's wrong to hate people for any reason. It doesn't matter if that reason is skin color or political ideology. You're the very thing you hate.
I went to Dearborn recently and yes people there buy Ford. Ford City. One thing I should note is that there is a cadillac dealership just a short walk away from Ford HQ. Odd.
The Ford Vertrek concept from the Detroit Autoshow. They said that design was mostly production ready for the 2013 Escape. So Baring that in mind, is how they determine that the next escape is gonna have a radical styling change. And if you haven't seen the Ford Vertrek concept. Search it and soak it up.
@TrueMemory9 It really is. I live right near by, every time I drive around there (ford quarters) I see many cars with manufacturer plates and at least one or two camouflaged vehicles. You kind of get use to it, lol.
@TrueMemory9 That's actually a good thing for our economy. Not weird. The Ford HQ is in Dearborn. So it makes sense that there is a sense of loyalty to the job giver.
@Lexuslover123 My dad works at the plant thats gonna make the new escape, and he says they dont want anyone to see it, i guess since KIA just HAS to copy EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN car FORD makes.
@dbzandlugia Lol, kia copies audi more so, hyundais are more like ford copies. But I agree, they have to keep it secret for a while, I really liked that dark ride thing lexus made where you had to get to LA before other people stole the ct200h, we even have a ct now, lol.
I could remember when I went to Florida on vacation, and we rented an Escape, which was a novelty. That was 2002, and the same underpinning is still in the current Escape, gawsh. They are WAY overdo to replace it!
The new escape is a huge improvement over the old one from the spy shots, I remember renting an old one and it being a POS vacation because of the car, but that should hopefully change.
Looks like oprah is giving Fords away in that town
