Default 2006 Ford Explorer

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, here it comes:The revised (not all new) 2006 Explorer.

That new grille givesit a less plain-jane look.Inside, it's a bit better. Same thing as the "revised" Mercury version, but with ugly, cheap looking fake wood instead of aluminum finish...

Had a thread on this not to long ago, but it does look better. The grill reminds me a little bit of the new Jetta grill.

I gotta disagree with all these negative comments. Based at least on this one photo, I think it looks pretty good. The only thing I would change is the grille.....it is too large and looks too much like Audi's. I would cut the grille off at the horizontal chrome bar instead of extending it down below.
