Looks like a Saab from the back.  It's nice...but I am not going to throw a WOW at it.  Interior looks good though.

I like it a lot. I agree that it has a Saab 9-3 look from the back which isn't a bad thing. Also like the curvasious front design. Attactive interior too.

If you really look at the shape of the vehicles there is a hint of many other Brands in it all the way round and inside the interior. Quite Nice  A V8 engine will make this a Winner.

Good looker alright. Did you all notice the size, angle and the height of the headrests? Now that design would keep you from getting wiplash unlike the size and style in the NA cars.

I like it.  So my guess is that Ford of Europe will continue to provide better cars and Ford of North America will continue to prevent any of these eurofords from entering north america (except mexico! lol - anyone who's been down there knows what I mean)
