Well again Europe & the World will be getting yet another great Ford product that will be making headling where every it goes. Too bad it's not going to be sold here where it could be used as the Taurus go out to pasture, I'm mentioning that as the Fusion dose not come in a Wagon, and the Focus Wagon will be gone soon as well.

The only characteristic making it look like a TL, would be the line running down the side of the car and the marker light right on the end of that line. The TL has two marker lights, doesn't it? I see more Mazda6 in it. I'd love to see this car in NA, doubtful though.

Why does it have the Euro Focus ST wheels? :( They look AWESOME on the Focus, and they look forced on that car (or just to me, anyways).

Yeah I agree, madza 6 also but I see 'major' TL styling, including the body lines myself.....
It's a combo of things, anyone else notice how much 'new cars' are looking like other cars from other companies lately? Perfect example, look at the new JAG coming out..... basically has RSX headlights and a roof chop similar to that of the 300's..........

It's all about mass company collaboration that they're 'secretly' doing in order to better all of the vehicles! :P (ya never know eh)

That front end looks like it came off a spaceship.. cool but a little busy. I wonder if these things would actually sell in North America.. the problem is that they'd most likely cheap out and have them Mexican built and take a bunch of shortcuts to lower the price. I dont think that method is working right now though.. maybe someday they'll wise up and bring over the already cool cars they build for other markets.

You Guys have to remember all cars sold in Europe now after 2003 are required to under go pedestrian crash tests, and as a result all New European Cars will have a more softer sloping lines in the front to make them safer in the event some one hits some moron walking into the street in front of a car.

I would buy that. I haven't liked many Fords recently, especially those sold here. But that's a very nice looking car.
