    Wow, much ugly. Do not want. Do not ever want.Ford now has the market cornered on absolutely awful looking front ends. First the f150's, and now this abortion. Ugh.

    It's like Ford saying, "do you want your truck in small,medium, or large?" Because they all look the same, hideous. Big fail from their design team, and marketing too.

    I love how unbiased you are. You found the worst possible picture of a ranger and posted it. Try this one on for size...

    Doesn't appear to be ground-breaking or heavily evolved but c'mon that appears to be a poor picture.. how does the rear tire appear larger than the front although it's further away?

    Just not a Ford guy. Truck looks decent. But, at the end of the day, it's still a Ford.

    If it's 3 seconds quicker 0-60 then I'm not sure it'll matter how 'feminine' some bro thinks the headlights are.

    It's called a straw-man argument, or this case, a straw-man comparison. You intentionally chose to belittle the competition by using a less than desirable example photo for your comparison.

    I've been a part of numerous automotive forums and the story is always the same...the competitor releases a new body, engine, seats, etc. and the bashing commences. I learned at about 23 years old that life is MUCH more fulfilling when I don't have to choose the things I buy based on what I currently have or am fan-boying about.
