Looks tough. But the rear lights and boot lid is a complete cut and paste of the new jag xk.

It almost looks like the bastard offspring of an overweight Ford Puma and a Mazda 3 hatch from the back.....otherwise pretty groovy.

To me it looks like the bastard child of an RX-8 and a Crossfire.

Looks quite good, almost as if it shouldn't be wearing a Ford badge, if you know what I mean.

Interior looks com gen to me for some reason.

This car doesnt really do a lot for me.

Ian whatshisname who designed the Vanquish and also the new Jag coupe (when he worked for Jag) was castigated for creating two almost identical cars.
His answer was simply that when one is working within the confines of design law to create the "ultimate" sports car, they are bound to have more than a passing resemblance.....quick thinking but could be a slight cop out also!!

It might explain why quite a few cars appear more and more similar to eachother.

Droooooooooooooool. What a brilliant looking car! I like it a lot.

Also love that interior, love the orange highlights and the look of the steering wheel.

Your right, design is a very personal thing.

But id rather push the boundries than be too conservative. BA = conservative, AU went to far. There is a happy medium but its veyr hard to get. Let me find a better pic of the C4...lol..Ill bring you around! :

EDIT: better pic attached..sorry ive forgotten my photobucket p/word
Is it me or does that look incredibly like the old Ford Focus?

Apparently this is a precurser to the all new Ford Mondeo. It won't be the same but it will carry over a fair bit of the styling direction used on the Ford Iosis concept car.

I'm loving it, but what's with the gear shifter? Well that's what i'm assuming it is.

I think it looks tough, a similar sort of shape to the Ford Puma. The interior is obviously for show but looks like something out of a spaceship, very cool.

Mate, if that's even remotely true.. Import the bastard here!!!!!!

That is one of the best Ford designs in YEARS! Finally Ford is getting some kick **** designs that don't need to rely on bolt on body kits to make them look good.
