Not feeling it, but I'm still jealous of 4 doors and a diesel.

Doesn't follow what we know as a Ford Ranger, but I don't think it's bad. If we had a redesigned four door Ranger I would most likely still have one.

honestly, the only thing i dislike is the front end, if they found a way to beef it up a bit (to american standards of what a pickup should be) then i'd like it. i do like the sides and back. just that front end kills it.

I agree, I think if the lines were more straight like the Ranger and F150 are now I would like it. I just don't like the rounded front end.

I agree. Everything from the side mirrors back looks great. I really like the factory roll bar.

It's slick.

Loves too much like a Ford Edge in the front though. Kinda like the new North American Explorer.

Id get it and d a front end swap

but you have to admit, a 2.2l gas or diesel with 6 spd trans must get pretty damn good mileage.

its grew on me. i like it. i bet it would look beefy as hell with about a 4-5 in lift and 33s.

and ill take the front end like it is if it comes with this

"3.2-liter Duratorq turbocharged five-cylinder diesel with 200 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of twist"

looks like an good compromise. to bad ford wont bring it over here.
