Default New ford 4 wheel drive??

I was driving back to work in Kirawee and on the opposite side of the road (pricess hwy) a swarm of Turbo Terri's and what looked to me was the new Escape (i didnt get a close look at the badging but it was smaller than a terri kinda like a suiburo forrester size but much higher. There were about 10 in total with covered plates in different colours all driven by business men. Not too sure if they all came out of Dominelli ford but they looked wicked all in one line.

Does anyone know what it might be. And yes i should have taken pixs.

No idea but i saw 1 in pakington st geelong on saturday morning, tried to get a pic with the phone camera but traffic got moving again and all i got was my mates arm! Was a left hand drive evaluation vehicle, and reasonably well covered. Didn't look too exciting, or like something i'd buy so i wasnt too worried about checking it out more.

I think youve already answered your own question?
You saw Turbo Terris and an Escape?

LOL im talking about the car other than the turbo terri. The reason i said escape was that it was the same size as the previous model but i cant be too sure if it is.

If it was a turbo terri, why would it be camoflauged? (sp)

Unless it an FPV variant... Ford don't need to clad the terri in anything so arn't you guys curious?

I saw a left hand drive Expedition near Dee Why in Sydney...

Was driving next to it and couldn't understand why the Explorer was so big (Landcruiser size, maybe larger). Once it past me, i realised it was an Expedition... doh hehe
