I kind of like it, as far as big wagons go... especially the white roof. I have NO urge to see bonnet stripes on it tho...

It's big and it's a Ford. Enough said!

I think it's a really trendy alternative to a bland Minivan or Honda Pilot. The interior looks really nice as well.

American designers have very little creativity left IMO. They just copy every other company out there, and beat the idea to death

Did that Funk Flex Master (or whatever he calls himself) dude come up with the name?

Funny they didn't mention the Toyota FJ, same roof color.

It looks like the love-child of a Mini and a Range Rover.

Really? I tend to think Americans have the MOST creativity.

- Asian cars are (for the most part) bland beyond belief.

- European cars, with the exception of exotics, aren't overly revolutionary. BMWs in particular were pretty plain looking before an American re-designed the entire lineup.

While Ford has never been ground-breaking design-wise, or in any category....GM and Chrysler have some cool looking cars.

Not to mention an American designed the 2002-2006 MINI.

"Over sized Mini" is an oxymoron.
