in the wild it looks amazing, even with a coat of dirt.
from far i think people will mistaken it for some european vehicle

I agree, the MKZ was nice but even with that I had a few issues with it's front end design, the MKC however is really nice. I have no complaints.

the design could very well compete with germans in terms of sleekness

i wish the exhaust tips filled out the cutout more

ehh, its a minor point, I suppose if you really desire you could slip on some aftermarket tips, I know those are just chrome tips that slip over the pipe, they come off with like 1 screw...

its the same on escape..

I agree. A toned down version of the concept's tips would have looked fantastic. That was a sexy backside!

 

[DeMarco]

I actually wish they used the exhaust tips off of the concept, they look amazing.

 

[golfball]

what are your thoughts on the tow hitch integration?

 

[DeMarco]

I think they should have made it more stealthy. Make it telescopic so it can be pushed back further when not in use with a cover to cover the opening for a clean look.
But they would need a strong pin for the telescopic hitch end.

 

[golfball]

it is tough to hide them. but that one really just sticks right out of the sleek design.

 

[humpty dumpty]

The hitch is likely just for testing. I know the Escape does not offer a tow pack as an option it has be purchased as an accessory through the dealer. Even so, with the 2,0 Ecoboost the Escape is rated to pull 3,500 lbs, so really theres not much that people will be towing, outside of a baby trailer, perhaps a seadoo to the cottage, a popup camper perhaps...

Looks like there could be a dent below the tag. Maybe trying to override the auto liftgate?

My Nautilus exhaust tips resemble the ones as in the picture above, very sleek and fill it the surrounding space, just like in the picture...
