"There will be not one, but three Ford EcoSport design concepts to the Sao Paulo auto show: Beauty,
The most eye-catching of the three concepts is the EcoSport Storm (above), which takes its styling cues from the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup truck. "\ http://westwheels.caradvice.com.au/3...-to-sao-paulo/

So they make a concept of that, but the Ranger Raptor is off limits?

What would a Territory look like with that treatment.
+1 for a Ranger Raptor.

Not a fan of the regular ecosport. This one is not an improvement either.

Yeah its not something that would tickle me to own, but its 99% better looking then its evil competitor the bloody trax, now THATS fugly. Just did a quick experiment while typing this, got the missus to take a look, now she does not mind the regular ecosport from the front,(nothing beats our XR6T though she reckons) but we both hate the rear view with the spare wheel hanging off it. But when she saw the blue baby raptor she really loved it. Don't forget who the target audience is for the ecosport, its only a fiesta on steroids |

At least they get the 4wd version in South America. I reckon Ford Aus missed a trick with the 2wd only.

That dealer ranger raptor is almost passable, but that bonnet is horrid and it's not a v8.

It doesn't even have to be a V8. That 2.7 ecoboost would do very nicely for me if the Miami isn't an option.

I'm not a fan of those other two concepts but the Storm.... perhaps its the Colour which looks very similar to Blueprint but I kinda like it.
Personally though, if it was little less Raptor, a little more EcoSport Sport or Ecosport XR4 I think it could work nicely. It might need a few more tweaks than this though.

It looks like a dinky toy, but i think the extra ground clearance would be appreciated by some.
