Hatch = Ok.......


Sedan = No.




I'll have to see it in person when It's actually unveiled and not more leaked shots.

IIRC, these cars have new noses due to bumper regulations.


It's better than what Honda did to the Fit.

S204STi

Still fairly decent looking with the USDM nose on it.

Sedan is a fail, but I rather like the hatch.

Ha, you can reach out the side window and touch the headlight.  I think they all look really nice.

In before Madman starts wailing about how it has been 'ruined' and now he'll never buy one.

The hatch looks fantastic.  The sedan blows.  That means the sedan will outsell the hatch 150,000:1.

Madman won't buy anything. He's cheap and broke like the rest of us, and that's why he buys decade old Volvos.

If they gave the sedan the hatch's nose, it'd be fine.

I'm not sure. I may like the Mazda 2 better.

Why is the grille so different between the hatch and sedan? :confused:

Looks okay to me :huh:.  I'd have to see both from the back though, to tell which one I liked best.

Gaudy is in :ohyeah: for the time being.

I think Ford knows what it is doing.  Look at the front end on the Fusion.  Good thing they don't use this forum to gauge public opinion. :lol:

The front end of the Fusion doesn't really look that great either.. but I guess the American public likes gaudy so it's ok...

I like the sedan and the hatch. In fact, I really like the sedan. Looks fucusy.

Not digging the chrome things on the lower front corners of the bumpers.  And the sedan is every bit as awkward as one would expect of a sedan in this class (meaning it's obviously an afterthought).  The hatch is decent, though.  Are they going to offer a 3-door?

I don't think so.

Nope but there will be a special chrome edition modeled after Queen Amidala's starship.  It will include chrome paint, windows, tires and wheels.

I don't understand what's wrong with it.


I think they add a sort of cute and adorable factor.
