I actually like what I"m seeing for the most part, except:

-that hideous split headlight thing.....WHYYYY is that a trend, it looks horrible.

-blank hatch - I've never liked when it's a vast expanse of blank/empty sheetmetal there - ex: 1st gen Traverse, Jeep Cherokee pre refresh

-Holy C-pillar - that blind spot is going to be massive.

 

Otherwise, it looks decent - it has a Kia Soul vibe to it.

Hopefully "Puma" arrives sooner than later.

Here's a question - Bronco obviously doesn't fit the "E" naming scheme.  Maverick wouldn't either.  Would they allow another non-E crossover/SUV?  (Ironically Mach E kinda sorta fits with the E theme too).

So looks like future Utilities will get more car like, with smaller windows and lower roofs. Will there then be a backlash to a 'white space' segment?

Is this escape size or eco sport size? I actually like the blazer in RS trim and think it’s probably the best implementation of the split headlights on any vehicle. I think the black grille on the RS trim makes the split lights not stick out so much. If they do a similar package on this, I think it will look pretty good. Like you said though the rear is definitely it’s weak point.

No bigger than Ecosport, might actually be even smaller.

Closer to EcoSport, but probably a bit larger, as EcoSport is the smallest of all the subcompacts.

 

Agreed about the Blazer's implementation.
