Ford had a 2011 Explorer running around Surprise, AZ today without any of the vinyl sheeting over it. No badges at all. Unfortunately I couldn't get a photo.
I only saw 3/4s of the Explorer the sides and rear. It's not fugly, but it sure doesn't say exciting, new, or different either. Looks more like a tall station wagon than a minivan, which I guess is a good thing.
I guess Ford's bean counters won out once again and decided that the new Explorer had to be plain vanilla, with no real flavor. Sad Sure wish I could have seen the front to see how that turned out. Hopefully I'll see it again soon. They do some of their testing at the Volvo proving grounds which is only a few miles from my house.
