Who thinks the rear end of the Ford Escape looks awful.

I agree. It's far too busy from a visual standpoint.

not just the back.
The low slung front turn signals with the optional fog-lights is a bit different than most, but otherwise, the whole vehicle looks like a mix of bland and bad.

That looks better.
My main complaint with the Escape is the fact that the greenhouse is very square, while the lines leading up to it are bulging.

I'm not a fan of this entire generation honestly. I like the previous iterations better.

I completely understand what you are saying. There is no design continuity across the entire form of the vehicle. Its like they took something that already existed and tried to make it look like something else..... OH WAIT, THATS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID! *cough* Kuga *cough*

Unfortunately, that’s pretty much the truth for all of today’s automotive design.
This is why I like the previous Escape a lot better. It's such an honest, simple design and 10 years from now it'll have aged far better than the current one.

Completely agreed. Looks more rugged and just flat-out much more coherent in design. Honest and simple, something that's nearly completely disappeared from today's automotive design language.

Nowhere near as awful as this:
The thing is, the Volvo hatches actually look OK in photos; in person they’re hideous, at least the ones I see around here. (maybe older models - 2009? 2010?) Great from the front, great from the size... then you see the back and go “WTF?”
OK, this photo begins to hint at the awfulness:

I think the same about it, the rear glass is not sculpted enough.

The whole car looks awful. The new Escapes are literally just taller Focuses

The rear of the C7 Vette isn’t “bad” it just isn't as beautiful as the rest of the car.

My biggest gripe on the C7 is the quad exhaust being centered. Either split up each pair, or put 2 pipes in the center. The centered 4 just looks gaudy to me.

Looks so much like every other car, I don’t really care. Its so rare to see a new car that is really attainable and makes you think its nice to look at. I have a 2006 CRV as my normal vehicle, it has a space pod look, I like the big door in the back and the lights up the sides like Volvo does. I chose that generation of CRV on purpose, its still fairly narrow for parking and it’s like a utilitarian shuttlepod.

You could say this about like half of the current Ford lineup. It’s like they just don’t put effort into the rear:

I don’t like the current Escape, like, at all. I think it’s supremely ugly (especially in base model form), and the interior is plasticy.

It looks good but the rear doesn’t really match the rest of the exterior.

Realizing it’s a tall Focus, it’s not so bad. I’d rather it look this way than like a large bar of soap a la chevytrax and buickencore, or as awkward as s Highlander/RAV4/4Runner, or as derivative and uninspired as the current GMC Yukon and Cadillac escalade; at least it is a cohesive design.
My biggest complaints about the current Escape’s styling (and, IMHO, it should have been the Kuga, because the Escape was a much different vehicle to its credit - I really like those plucky little first- and second-gen trucks!) are the front turn signals being down low near the ground with no higher ones (so brodozers and semis can’t see them as well - the new Mazda3 and a few other vehicles have started to do this, which is bad), and the fuel door being on the wrong side, but since the Focus and its derivatives (Escape, C-Max, Transit Connect) were designed in Europe where fuel doors are almost universally on the wrong side, there’s no accounting for it. If I had to get a Focus-platform vehicle it’d be the C-Max Energi or Focus Electric, so that the fuel door - that is, charging port - is in the driver’s side.

Pretty much all of GM’s new MY2014+ designs are generally mediocre and clearly designed by committee, save for non-escalade Cadillac vehicles. The corvette is a horrendous hodgepodge from front to rear: viper front, Ferrari side, high school doodle rear. The impala and Silverado have handsome enough fronts with the blockier styling, but for whatever reason get covered in inexplicable curves from the A-pillar rearward, like they’re two different vehicles mashed together; the Tahoe/suburban are the opposite, with blocky rears with an ugly curving front end that would look more at home on a Nissan, though perhaps they were “inspired” by the maxima, Altima, and 370Z when they were figuring out where to put their badges on Nissan’s Seussian NV200. The Yukon looks inspired by the Mercury Mountaineer but with ugly surprised-pig-wearing-eyelash-glitter-evoking LED running lamps (which are largely shared with the sierra). The Escalade also seems derived from the Mountaineer in the front, but with the rear inspired by the Volvo 850 wagon. The Buick lacrosse is fairly cohesive but looks like it was designed side-by-side with the impala, seeming to share almost the same quarter panel treatment and proportions. The checytrax looks like a sad appliance made for a lower-income market where such designs are the norm rather than the exception in company like the CX-3, HR-V, Juke, etc. The upcoming Malibu, volt, and crude are underwhelming bars of soap. The upcoming Camaro is just wrong and a step away from what it should be, save for the weight decrease.

Mazda and FCA are really the only two corporations that are consistently nailing styling.
