I like it.
The interior is Show-Car funky, but the basic ideas are cool.
Of course, because this is slated as a Mondeo replacement, we're not likely to get it. Why is Ford so scared of succeeding in North America??

Has some Mazda 3 abd Aston Martin themes. Front bumper is a little big. I'd rock it.

Might have something to do with the fact that the Contour/Mystique failed rather miserably, and was an awkward size between the Escort and Taurus, without enough appeal to a broad audience.

Kinda has an RX-8 influence on the front fender bulges from the front view.

Can Ford think of anything original?

Rear profile:


Belt line:


Rear decklid:


I like it, but it's certainly not ground-breaking.

I can see some cues from the AM and RX but those last 2?

Ditto on all that from above...




Rear quarter reminds me of the G6.

you don't see the pinched belt-line extending over the rear wheel as similar to the new 3 Series?
or the "veins" outlining the hatch window with the upturned lip over the trunklid as similar to the Cayman?

the wheels look like these too:

Definitely agree on the Aston and Mazda comments. I see the other ones a bit. I could care less, that thing is hot!
