Please tell me that there are no new pics of the 06 Explorer because it looks just like the '05!

Here ya go: http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102312. Looks like the headlights, grille, fog lamps and taillights were changed, plus you can get a 292hp V8 and 6-speed tranny.

Yeah, I'm not too keen on the new grille either; the '02-'05 "egg-crate" grille looks a lot better, IMHO.

I don't like the looks of the 06 either, I think they should have left it alone if they couldn't do any better than that.
