Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Armada has a look that reviewers say is divisive.  While no reviewer calls it ugly, several say the styling will take some getting used to.

  • "I wouldn't call the Armada obnoxious, but it's dang close - its styling reminds me of Homer Simpson's Canyonero or maybe the weirdly shaped, jokelike SUVs that get parked next to a Barbie Malibu Playhouse. It's almost a caricature of everything SUV haters hate about SUVs." -- Automobile Magazine
  • "Did we mention this thing is big? The Armada can be a handful to park in tight spaces, though not any more difficult than its competitors. . . The rear-door handles are placed high up, making them difficult for small children to reach. Short front and rear overhangs make the Armada a bit easier to maneuver than some of its competition. " -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "The Armada's styling is going to be a 'love it or hate it' issue for most people," About.com
