Unless, of course, that was your plan all along in order to get your C-list self some much-needed coverage in the various gossip rags. But we digress. Our intrepid spy photographers managed to snap off a giant series of photos of the hotly anticipated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/explorer\">2012 Ford Explorer<\/a> completely uncovered, and that is a very, very good thing indeed.<\/p>\n<p> For the first time ever, thanks to an unruly gust of wind, we get to see the first-ever unibody Explorer in all its glory. That looks to include a new take on the familiar in-your-face three-bar grille with newly perforated top and bottom rungs bisected by two thin chrome strips up front. Note, too, the mildly sculpted flanks that lead to the currently <em>en vogue<\/em> fastback-like sharply raked C-pillar. A closer look at the fascia reveals not-yet-completed projector headlamps ensconced in clear covers that angle well back into the fenders. Lookin&#8217; good so far, we&#8217;d say.<\/p>\n<p> Though we don&#8217;t quite get a good look at the rear fascia, we do get a clear shot underneath the car from the hind quarters. This is most definitely a front-wheel drive chassis, and though this particular mule isn&#8217;t equipped with one, there will surely be an optional rear differential for all-wheel drive duty. See all the shots for yourself in our high-res image gallery below.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer\/low\/\">Spy Shots: 2012 Ford Explorer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01-2012-ford-explorer-kgp-march_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02-2012-ford-explorer-kgp-march_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03-2012-ford-explorer-kgp-march_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04-2012-ford-explorer-kgp-march_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05-2012-ford-explorer-kgp-march_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>[Source: CarPix]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/25\/spy-shots-2012-ford-explorer-caught-completely-disrobed\/\">Spy Shots: 2012 Ford Explorer caught completely disrobed<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:27:00 EST.
