A new direction from Ford designers who want to invoke "warmth and charm".
I like the grille and overall it's quite cute.  Quote:

It looks like it is asleep.
The rear looks like a KA while the front has a Mondeo-ish feel to it. The grill....well, would have to see it in other angles first. |

Kinetic Design is great, they shouldn't try to fix what ain't broke I reckon. That thing looks absolutely horrible.

the design language will attempt to give cars a "warmth and charm" consumers can "bond with." this just dosnt sound like a good idea.
and the concept looks dated, i think daytime running leds are tacky not so much the audi porshe ones bet deffers the e2 hsv

I just showed my wife and she said "is it the new Citroen?", I replied "no it's Fords new design language". Her reply "it looks like something out of the movie 'cars'"!
Enough said! Yuk

For some reason it reminds me of a Fiat 500 crossed with a VW Beetle.
