I like it too. That front end is much better than the current one to my eye.

The 2016 looks a lot better than the current model but I still prefer the squared off look of the 2010 that I have.

Hmm, well hopefully that means they'll stop making white Explorer Sports with blacked out grilles that I keep mistaking for cops.

I was fairly disappointed with the current explorer, it just lost its truck look. this i guess regains a little of that. I'm still not all that impressed. 2/3 cars i've owed were explorers, '95 and a '04 Sport Trac

I agree, the new ones just look too fat and bloated to me. I'd like to see them do a modern interpretation of the original to give it a little more rugged look.

Exactly. That's why I like my 2010. They used all the space. They even did what Nissan did with the XTerra and added little storage holes around the rear wheel well's on the inside for extra storage room. I love when someone makes use of the space they have, not cover it up to give it a sleek look.

It looks bland, which is good for SUVs.

Hey man, those are Sports, people pay a lot for those so they can trick you.

I really like this compared to the current design. Though it wish it would go back to its roots as a BOF truck with RWD-based 4WD.
