i like the escape. i think the 2.0l engine (turbo) is much peppier than the cx-5's, but it is pretty hilly where i live. the main turnoff for me is the escape's VERY shiny interior finishes. the huge sunroof is a big plus.
the new jeep has MUCH bigger problems than design (which i like). trannys needing replacing, computers bad and a whole lot of other serious immoblizing problems. i was considering one, but after doing research it was a definite no-go.
