perhaps you haven't seen older and new side by side. new one is MUCH bigger / higher.

 

Exactly. We had that first generation Explorer as well as the 95 refresh model and the new Explorer is MUCH, MUCH bigger. The Explorer was never a big vehicle. I agree with bit, it feels huge from behind the wheel too.

As for two tone paint? Styles change. They should bring bell bottoms and mullets back too?

 

I don't think the lack of two tone paint jobs is a sign of cost cutting. It's probably because not enough people would buy them.

 

I remember in the Lexus world when everybody was painting their two tone cars one tone. It's just out of style.

 

i don't think it's about cost. about most people thinking two tone paint jobs are hideous.

maybe they should bring these back too

 

Groovy baby!!

 

I saw a brand new Chrysler 300 with that last month. Awful

My eyes, my eyes!

 

I know that Rolls Royce Wraith offers a two-tone option



Still for me, I would just go with a mono-tone exterior finish

 

That red Wraith looks sweet. Never seen a monotone one even in pictures, most have the two tone. Cool

 

Came in to post that the red RR is jaw dropping. That is all.

 

Seriously that's what I'm saying. Monotone RR !

 

We had a 2013 Sport. Needless to say, it was an impulse buy. Talk about build quality issues. Rear door at the bottom corner didn't line up with the body. Seals around the windows outside looked like crap. And the smart key was glitchy. On top of that the driving experience was numb. Numb steering and numb feedback from the throttle. I couldn't stand the seating position. The seat was awkward and the steeringwheel is aimed at the sky. Like a bus lol also fords BSM is useless. It's this tiny dot in the mirror that you can hardly see.

 

I tend to like two tone paint schemes on large, boxy vehicles (rolls royce, older caddys).

The refreshed Explorer reminds me if the earlier models, which I preferred (I'm a sucker for body on frame rugged SUVs).
