Default Ford Vertrek. Clean design.

It looks japanese. If this were a japanese car, I'd buy it.

Ford has some clean designs.

That's a sharp car, I like it!

I agree the front has a strong Japanese influence but the rest of the outside screams X5 look alike to me (not that there is anything wrong with that)

What exactly is that chrome orange line on the bottom of the rear bumper good for?

This looks pretty good. I like it. Wonder if this is the preview for the aging Escape.

I don't see Japanese, I see Audi. But it is sharp.

It's a light. Presumably for Euro rear fog lamp use or something.

I think this car looks gorgeous. Supposed to preview the next generation USDM Escape and Euro market Kuga.

Back does have a bit of Hyundai styling going on, but overall very clean and elegant!

Ford is really starting to become the anti-Hyundai. Clean, modern, and elegant designs that don't look busy .
