QOTD: How Are You Feeling About the Scout?
The Scout is out.
What do you think about the truck and SUV?
Are the new Scouts good-looking? Ugly? A cynical marketing ploy from a company that could've just built these vehicles and slapped a VW badge on them instead of resurrecting the Scout brand?
I've not yet had a chance to dig deep, but my first take is that the styling is attractive but a bit derivative.
Now it's your turn. What say you?
Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
