Looks busy and unremarkable. One Ford will rob Ford of it's soul. Kuga looks playful and dynamic, this looks crap, IMHO.

Ford US have a heap of info on the new Escape already...
http://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/2013...ode=312897-001 Ford Oz need to start leaking info about timing/engines etc. Current Escape can't keep up with the competition...

Might be just in time to replace my ageing x-trail, the SUV's in that catergory don't do much for me at present.
New X-trail - styling is a little odd. Subaru Forester - starting to look dated. Toyota Rav4 - to small Ford Escape - Very dated. Mitsubishi Outlander - styling not my thing. Shortlist at the moment is: Renault Koleos - I don't mind. Kia Sportage - just need to convince myself about the badge 2013 Ford Escape. |

Will definatly be looking into these if the Aus version isnt tamed down to much for the Missus.
2L ecoboost with Auto will be perfect around town.

Don't mind the Outlander and you forgot the CX7, both pretty good but don't tick all the boxes... Again - New Escape can't come soon enough! Would take market share from all the above...

2013 does seem like a long way away doesn't it Mark, chances are they will miss the boat of a currently busy market sector. Suits me though, should be able to comfortably afford to upgrade the Mrs car by then, one of these fits the bill a little better than a Territory at this stage, assuming the rear cargo space is atleast as good as out current XLT. |

AT 6 foot 4 I find it a liitle tight inside the Rav4 - agree physical dimensions are very similar - the Rav seems to lack a little head room.
