Wanting to know what my future blue steel sap will look like, i falled on this 2011 tuxedo black metallic sap escape...

Just noticed that the 2011 sap doesnt get the roof rack anymore (i think it gives a nice look though).

Also, it's not the same black i have now, it's metallic...

hope to see mine soon!

not so nice because i only have my cell phone 1.3 mpxixel when saw it at dealer but I really wanted to see 1 2011 to see the little differences with the 2010.

The big one is the absence of roof rack like i said and I was also beeing said that this year the mykey and message center are now included on all escape.

Also this black tuxedo metallic coolor is awesome. mine will be steel blue though.

Actually the SAP package has always deleted the roof rack. However, the roof rack returns if a sunroof is ordered. I believe this is because the roof rack somehow physically supports the sunroof. Also, the roof rack returns if the cargo package is ordered. The result is that there are very few SAP packages that don't include the roof rack.

it wasn't like that last year (2010 model) as i've ordered only factory hitch, canadian winter package(leather) and sport appearance package (no cargo cover nor sunroof) and i got the complete roof rack with bars.

I can't speak for Canada, but in the United States of America the roof rack isn't included with SAP unless sunroof or cargo package is ordered.

So i must admit that without the roof rack it gives a nicer look to the s.a.p....

Also easier to clean and wax :yes:

I'm not on here much, so excuse me if it's been answered before, but why did you get a sap and change the wheels? I thought 90% of it's good looks come from the black wheels.

I thought 90% of it's good looks come from the black wheels.

I think the wheels are about 37% of the good looks.

Black grill = 9%
Blacked-out headlamps = 9%
Black fascia = 9%
Body colored mirrors = 9%
Body colored door handles = 9%
Black rear spoiler = 9%
Smooth body colored skirts = 9%
Black mag-style wheels = 37%

I think the black wheels look good also, but I'd like to see a different style. Particularly one that allows the use of a wider tire. I think some of the wheels that Ford is using on the various Mustangs would look good on the Escape.

That is my 2010 sap black escape. i just ordered a new 2011 sap blue steel and will keep two set of black wheels so the chrome you see on mine is traded in with the vehicle, the original mags have the winter tires on it.

I'll have a set for winter and a set for summer. No need to switch tires anymore and always have the look of the sap escape :yahoo:
