I like it. I hope they make it into something on the sportier side though. They keep talking about the Mondeo which is European Taurus-type car (only nicer), which makes me think they might turn this into a boring car with exciting looks.

It definitely resembles the rx8 ... crazy scary! It looks like an 8 with a more finicky back end! Love the gullwing doors ... too bad they say it's unlikely. Interior looks sleek but also hauntingly similar to ours!

Screw gas mileage
it looks like a fat, ugly rx-8
and this made me laugh
do these guys work for ford?
and this made me laugh
Fords are already exciting to drive. Better than many of the admired 'premium' brands.
Lame.

ford loves its strong ties to europe, including at one point almost buying ferrari, but they do make quite a few great cars for the other markets 'accross the pond' , even the focus is better in europe....

I like it too. Something close to this is what Ford needs to put into production. They need to be bold, fresh and exciting in their designs. The "retro" Stang is fine. It's what Stang lovers and old time Stang lovers wanted. The 500... ewww. Focus.... ewww. Need I go on?

They should make it, bring it over here and sell it as the Ford Probe. Ford needs a sporty, import type gt car to go against the Z, RX8, coming Supra, etc. The Mustang is a musclecar, not a track car.

Which is why Ford is dumb. That's why D/C is designing more interesting cars then they are. TOo bad the Magnuma/300C has just a crappy looking interior and no stick. Otherwise... I might actually want to test drive on with the Hemi.
