The good news is that the unveiling of the 2011 Ford Explorer is just one day away. The bad news is, with one day before the unveiling, we don’t know how many more teasers of the new SUV we can stomach from these guys.
Okay, it’s not that we don’t appreciate the effort they give out, but at some point, the whole definition of ‘teasing’ a vehicle loses its meaning when you come out with one every other day – or so it seems.
We can only be teased for so long without the whole thing becoming ridiculous and in the case of the 2011 Explorer, we’ve seen just about enough teasing of it – and, unwittingly, the front office execs and their smiling faces on some of the photos – that it’s becoming a little, shall we say, repetitive.
Thankfully, we’ll all be spared from anymore of this on the 26th of July, at which time Ford will officially take the covers off of the SUV on their Facebook page. Now, here’s to hoping that July 26 comes fast enough, or we might be treated to yet another ho-hum teaser photo.
If teaser photos became a barometer for sales success among automakers, then the 2011 Ford Explorer would have run away from the competition by the now. Seriously, how many teasers are we going to get of this SUV? And the worst part is, we don’t know if Ford is actually teasing the car or doing some sort of corporate headshot portfolio of its executives. With the way these images are coming out, we don’t know which is which anymore.
Okay, now that we got that out of the way, we’re here to show you another teaser image of the soon-to-be-released – thankfully! – 2011 Explorer with another smiling executive blocking the SUV from our inquisitive eyes. Turns out, the lady in the photo is Jenner Brace, one of the key figures in the design and development of the MyFord Touch. In fairness to this photo, the Explorer’s interior is in fact showing, with the SUV’s dashboard and center console sneaking in a partial spot in what looks like Ms. Brace’s headshot.
Whatever our frustrations are with Ford’s method in teasing their new SUV, all of it should be appeased pretty soon when the Blue Oval officially breaks the cover off of the 2011 Explorer next week. Yes, Ford; it’s about time.
At this point, we’re not exactly sure if Ford wants us to set up a jigsaw puzzle with these teaser photos of the 2011 Ford Explorer because in the event that you’re not yet satisfied with the four teaser photos they’ve released - not to mention the countless outdoor teases - the Blue Oval is back with yet another one.
Ever since it began, Ford has used its Facebook page to slowly release these teaser photos, but if we’re being honest about it, all these teaser photos that don’t leave a whole lot for our imaginations to work with is getting a little old. We know the method, fellas: build the anticipation to high enough levels and climax it with the grand reveal.
For the sake of Ford, let’s hope they stick to their word and break the covers off of the 2011 Explorer at the scheduled time of the end of July. Otherwise, we don’t know how many more ‘teases’ we can handle.
Little by little, teaser photo by teaser photo, the 2011 Ford Explorer is being unraveled right before our very eyes. Now, if only Ford can spare us with these images and just unveil the SUV already.
Of course, Ford most likely won’t listen to our cries for unveiling the new Explorer so we guess we’re just going to have to settle for what they show us. That being said, these here are a number of new teaser photos of the new 2011 Ford Explorer SUV, most of which, as we can expect, didn’t really show a whole lot of the Explorer. Yeah, what else is new, right?
For description’s sake, this new photo shows us the vehicle’s front quarter panel with a matching head light assembly. That’s about what we have from this new image, but Ford, apparently, has a few more images in store for us – two more action photos of the Explorer in its environmental surroundings.
Again, it’s not much. But the good news is, we shouldn’t be able to wait too long for the Explorer’s official unveiling later this year, at which time these less-than-appealing teaser photos should come to a merciful end. We sure hope Ford knows what they are doing and the new Explorer is worth all of this endless teasing.
Correct us if we’re wrong, but ever since Ford decided to release teaser photos of the 2011 Ford Explorer, we’ve actually seen more of those Ford executives with their smiling mugs than we have of the actual SUV. Granted, the whole shtick is premeditated given that Ford would like to show as little of the car as possible – that’s why it’s called teasing – and they prefer to wait until the 2011 Explorer’s big reveal to lift the covers off of their new SUV.
Now, Ford is at it again, only this time they’ve opted for the video variety to tease the Explorer. And true to form, the car’s about as covered as it can get and we have yet another Ford executive trying to steal the Explorer’s thunder. This time, it’s the SUV’s program manager, Julie Levine, who spends the majority of the video describing in great detail the rigorous testing the Explorer is subjected to. In fairness, the SUV is shown for most of the video, but not as exposed as we’d like it to be.
