anon210 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Looks nice, but if it is as sensitive to water as the ranger and has the same weak panels, I will most definitely pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It looks OK. Will be interesting to see how it goes in LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I like the front end, would look good on the ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It looks OK. Will be interesting to see how it goes in LOS. Yeah it looks nice. At least they didn't just use the same front as the Fortuner/Vigo and Mitsubishi PJS/Triton but are trying something else. Well done Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another stupid comment from you, one Ranger fails and suddenly they are all crap, nonsense. Well, apparently, you seem to have forgotten all the talks about structural weakness of Rangers for Thai market (different grade of steel), and besides the water fording issues, you also forgot the point of the weak panels... Or chose not to answer those points. Edited August 14, 2013 by freemindxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Second half of 2015? Yikes! That;s for Australia - Thailand should get it 3-6 months sooner than that.... if they can assemble a decent amount of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailoht Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 A nice contemporary exterior design improvement along the lines of the Fortuna - Trailblazer models ..... though a tad more contemporary than the Trailblazer, IMH(subjective)O, of course! Let's see how the Thai-Automotive-Powers-to-be dumb-down the look and features of the new Ford Everest for the Thai SUV market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemapoot Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 A Fortuna Clone. Kinda looks like an updated Tuna. I'm probably going to be in the market for that new Fortuna, but this Ford looks good at least on the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) This is a concept car guys -let's not forget how much blander the production version is likely to be.. By the time it's got cheap production wheels on it, and loses the only marginally exciting bits of styling it possesses in concept trim, I'm anticipating it to be a complete yawn-fest who's only real goal in life is to try and appease all the Territory-loving Aussies that are set to lose their ugly duckling SUV when Oz production winds up. Those soft lines are going to be as attractive as the wrinkles on grandma's face by the time the next gen from others comes around... I thought Ford had learnt that lines were back in style when they came up with Kinetic and Kinetic II.. Wait for the new Paj and Tuna - hopefully one of them will come up with something a little more exciting. Edited August 14, 2013 by IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, there wasn't anything really wrong with the Tuna's styling 10 years ago when it first came out... 10 years is just too long to keep a shape going if it's not a Porsche, Beetle or Mini though... so now it just looks like every other pimple on your ass.

True, the same goes for all other Toyota's. But they're never exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogandave Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know guys here love to bash the suzi, but the new dmax has been great. I’ll wait to see the new tuna before I pull the trigger, but I may get an MU7 when it comes out. I live in the boonies and it’s tough to beat Isuzu service in Thailand. They really only have one model to work on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
