I like it, even if it is very similar to the Grand C-max. Aside from some details, it looks production ready.

Ford engineered the car to be pillar-less. It's perfectly fine and intentional.

Not bad... I see some Aston cues in the front. I don't like that center stack though. Too many little black buttons, and is that a 3.5" nav screen? Lame.

Another brilliant, clever and attractive small Ford!  :rockon:

Which means we'll probably never see it over here.  :cry:

This is a thinly concept-ed up version of the replacement for the unloved Fusion.

Ford seems to be yet another manufacturer that has resorted to putting their designs in the photocopier and pressing enlarge and reduce..... it is awfully similar to the C-Max and has plenty of similarities with the S-Max and Galaxy.

It also shares the over stylised interior that seems to be Ford's current enthusiasm.

Hideous. A ghastly front end, and a juvenile side view.

Ford is trying to create a recognisable "family" look.  I think there are enough differences between the Fiesta, Focus, C-Max, B-Max, etc so as not to warrant the oft-cited Bangle-esque claim of "Same sausage, different sizes."  Overstyled or not, you have to admit it looks a hundred times better than this.....

That interior is horrific.

Why so many wrinkles, lines and creases?  As well, the dash is very ugly.  Time to rethink modern styling.

Other than the proportions, it is a pleasing style that doesn't give you a headache to look at.  It works much better in the early Escape...

That center console looks like the face of a Michael Bay Transformer. That's not a complement.

2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.
