What the hell is this? Where's the styling? Mind you, it doesn't have to look that good to be a million times better-looking than the Juke.
This car looks to me like something a young typical design student could do, not someone who has years of experience and is a master designer. I suppose, it's just aimed at the masses who wouldn't know any better, abit like fast food outlets really.
Love this, it looks good. Lets hope it stays looking like this when released and not too watered down.
A terrible attempt at making the Fiesta look more butch.
It looks like a teenagers attempt to customise his first car., and would be happier on show in Max Power magazine
anyone else fed up - every car gets slated for it's design by some people who have nothing better to do - come on, give us examples of design - an aston martin? the perfect competitor on price and utility eh?
One suspects that If Ford designed the most beautiful car in the world these people would moan as Ford is "common" and if they slag such cars off THEY'll look superior (NO!)
Whatever happened to "style" at Ford?
Guess their designers used to play with Transfomers as kids.
Sadly, this has transformed into a runt!
That's very, very good!
i think it looks good not as radical as the duke which is ugly in the sense
pretty ugly always turns heads, the fiesta needs to be more outrageous prices starting at around 16k hmmm does,nt the duke start at 12.500k.
People, please note the editorial on this artical, rather than just looking at the 'spy shots' or as Auto Express say; 'as our illustrations show'. Hence these are yet more BS attempts to claim exclusive shots of a car using guess work, artistic license and existing concept cars.
Auto Express wouldn't know a genuine spy shot even if it came shaken not stirred!
Our illustrations show that much of the styling is inspired by the Vertrek concept, seen at January’s Detroit expo. It gets the same multi-layered headlights, sculpted bonnet and lowered roofline. The bodywork has grown to accommodate the SUV’s increased proportions, with pronounced wheelarches front and back, and the Fiesta’s chassis has been stretched to provide wider tracks. REALLY, WHERE IS THE PROOF?
a Ford spokesman explained: “Until an all-new Fiesta arrives, everything that comes out on that platform will share the same Kinetic design language.”
WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
However, a new concept – rumoured to debut the brand’s fresh family look – is tipped to appear at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show. SO YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE?
...it's only a new toy car. I suspect Auto Express (and car makers) have software - a sort of sophisticated Photoshop - where you just feed in a number of existing models. And voila, your new model is born. In this case, Fiesta + Kuga + Vertrek.
Vertrek is a good name. Didn't know where Ford had got it from, until I was sitting in Schipol Airport recently. Doh!
All those slagging Ford design off above - This is not a Ford design! Its an Auto(Sun)Express photshop thats taken a Fiesta and pumped it up - The real car (if it even exists at all) will bear no relation to this.
Actually I think the new Fiesta SUV will be the next generation of Ford EcoSport. Ford in Brazil is answerable for the worldwide project, in common work with other design and engineer centers around the globe. A very reliable source is this link/site: http://quatrorodas.abril.com.br/noticias/nova-ford-ecosport-roda-testes-bahia-290706_p.shtml.
Ford just extrapolated their image from the actual car spotted under test in London, eh?

Of course 'Ford' should read AE in my comment above
Better than the Nissan Joke. I have adopted the name Joke because the joke is on U.
