Well, having experienced a few Escapes in my day (wife's '04, our '08, and indirectly my sister's '01 Tribute and her current '10) I can say that I am a fan of the model.

This new one will be a major upgrade in a lot of ways.

I will lament in some ways, though, the direction of the more modern styling. This isn't because I find the new models styling to be unattractive. I agree that it looks like a lifted Focus in a lot of ways. This isn't a bad thing as the Focus is a dynamite looking car and the new Escape takes to it pretty well.

It is more due to the fact that I really like the throwback styling of the current Escape and its predecessor's. I always have.

Oh well, at least in my opinion, even though the new Escape will be closer in styling to its competitors now, it still will be one of the better looking small SUV/CUV's.

The gauge cluster reminds me of Camaro or Malibu.
The center console is really nice with the deepset screen and controls.
