Ford's New Design Language To Arrive In Six Years

Ford's new design language to arrive in six years
November 13, 2007
Source: Leftlane News

Ford's recent announcement that it will move toward a unified global design theme has many enthusiasts jumping for joy, but design boss J Mays has made it clear the changes won't be happening in the immediate future. Instead, look for the first cars to be ready for the 2014 model year.

Mays told Automotive News development of the new design theme was moving along "extremely well." He said he is "so pleased" with the work done so far by Peter Horbury and Martin Smith.

However, he also pointed out it will take about six years for the new look to reach showroom floors. That means the first cars featuring Ford's all-new look will arrive as 2014 models.

That's a pretty reasonable timeframe as far as typical development goes, but it might come as a disappointment to some Ford lovers who are unhappy with the "Bold American" styling used on U.S. cars or the "kinetic" design used on European models.

As previously reported, both the Bold and Kinetic looks will be scrapped in favor of a single, unified global styling. For Americans that prefer the Kinetic look, however, there's some good news — the new Ford Fiesta will be coming to America, and it will feature pure European styling.

I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.
