I really like the redesign, and the current model is pretty good on it's own, so I'm a potential customer for the '11.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me why Ford still uses the numeric keypad on the driver's door for access? It seems redundant, with the 2011 offering keyless access, and it looks like a leftover from the parts bin labelled "1992". It's like an ugly wart on an otherwise attractive vehicle. I can't take my eyes off it, and it's probaby enough to prevent me from buying the car if you can't option the car without the keypad. From the official website, it appears that ALL trim levels will include the keypad... unfortunate.
Seriously, can someone explain the rationale? Ford has some sexy sheetmetal hitting the streets; how could the designers ruin it with that farkin' keypad?! Am I irrational for allowing it to ruin an otherwise appealing car?
