EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: 2011 Ford Explorer To Rock Competitors By Cloning The Range Rover Like Exterior Design Magic?

Even though there is an embargo on driving impressions for the 2011 Ford Explorer, we are allowed to show you as many photos as we want.

So Agent 00R went to work today at the press launch here in San Diego and has just put up this nice photo gallery of what I'm calling the 'Poor Man's Range Rover', the all new 2011 Ford Explorer.



No doubt because of the close relationship the companies used to have Ford saw fit to 'lift' a lot of the design queues and rightly so, seeing the exterior design of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are simply on balance, the two most beautiful SUV's on earth.

And we're predicting CRUSHING sales of this new Explorer against the likes of competitors like the Jeep Cherokee and others.

Let's face it, these are family haulers and most people will never off-road them.

And in the family hauler game the WOMAN makes the final buying decision and MOST women want Range Rovers, even more than a chance to have sex with Brad Pitt.

But most families can't afford them so the fact that it RESEMBLES a Range Rover in a lot of ways will be good enough to sway the ladies into buying them or making their significant other buy them one.

Then add the new SYNC system (best in the world right now in our opinion at ANY price) and it's GAME OVER in a competitive fight.

No matter HOW good the others may be off-road in comparison.

Sorry, just the way it is.

Six months from now the new Explorer will be sitting on top in sales in the segment and you'll know you read that prediction here first.

For now, enjoy the photo gallery and a review from 00R coming as soon as the embargo lifts.
