I also like the bold compound curves of the hood and the sculpting of the front fenders.

Only thing that would improve the looks is if Ford had included 16x7 rims instead of the 16x6.5s. An extra 1/4 or 1/2 inch of tire to come up flush with the fenders would be perfect.

Guess that was done to preserve Cd of 0.31. Wide tires flush or sticking out of fenders would significantly increase drag.

Also, I wish the doors/windows didn't have the completely framed look, a la Ford Tempo. An Audi A4 or Passat-like hidden B pillar would maybe have been better.

My 0.032 cents ($0.02 USD).
