I like it. Fresh & Edgey. Agreed on the Aston look also, in the same way as the G Series Falcons, which I've always loved.

My moneys on new glass/plastics for the upper rear door too but we're yet to see that.
Plus that's a completely different centre console lid, and handbrake surround to the FG. Handbrake lever and gear lever are straight from FG by the looks of these shots.

I would wager there is going to be 2 different interior finishes for the new Territory - a-la the VE series 2. The high series interior as shown in the latest test mule shots, and a standard interior which will probably resemble the FG interior closely.

Obviously it is still early and any information is sketchy but, does anyone here know if the higer end models (Ghia - Titanium) will have Dash touch screen and power assisted rear door?

I would say that it would have to be similar spec to the Kluger Grande surely!

Looks good though from what I see.

Looking at the Terry interior shots, I must say, Ford Oz must have more money then we all thought to provide an interior that is actually different to FG in some areas. Also wasn’t expecting an FGII to have interior upgrades to be frank. And if the exterior has some of those Terry elements then it won't take a "trainspotter" to notice compared to VE>VEII, ... good work Ford.

Do we get SYNC and MyFord Touch? That'll be a clincher.

That's the reason cars look different to one another. If there were one "right" way to make cars look, the world would be a pretty dull place.

For instance, I'm one of those weirdos who thinks Porsche 911s are one of the uglier cars on the road...

A 4.2L TD V8 would be nice! Something like the Audi Q7. 250kw and in excess of 700Nm...

Im all for cars looking different, Unfortunately these days they all look like rehashed american designs. ( since when were american designs cutting edge? ) Including this "artists impression" on page 1. Sharp edged headlights and a MASSIVE grille....SOOOOOOO cutting edge

I will reserve my final judgement til I see it in the flesh. I just hope its a little toned down when compared to the pic on page 1. Then again, everyone wants something stand out these days. I HAVE to have an Iphone 4. I HAVE to have the newest, weirdest looking car. If everyone buys the same crap, it all looks the same in the end

I dont think it really matters how the car looks or what engine it has anymore. Just fill it with usless technological crap and people will flock to it. Ads dont even say what engine size or transmission advances the car has. Just as long as it has voice recognition, sat nav, blue tooth....then who cares right?
