DaweV6 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) It does. Also it looks like a mk6 Fiesta + Astra J edit: BTW I was led to believe that there is not going to be a 3dr version. Well thank fok that's not true. Edited December 9, 2010 by DaweV6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Escort looked like the Fiesta? really? all their shapes and styling looked nearly as identical as the new focus is to the new fiesta is to the new megane is to new Astra? really?? your usually so reasonable and rationable in your opinions Mut's....but that was just a terrible response and example choice:unsure: Edited December 9, 2010 by shawdreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaweV6 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I actually read the article now. And after that journalistic masterpiece really want to throw up. “Designers have spent most of this year working on the coupé concept. As inspiration they’ve had pictures of Capris on their studio walls.” Ha. Ha. Ha. I mean, seriously ? Why do we need to know this ? They obviously didn't look at it very often, did they ?!? http://photos.autoexpress.co.uk/images/front_picture_library_UK/dir_811/car_photo_405829_7.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3482/3765511883_de5c003679.jpg I'll give them the very remote back window/c pillar resemblance, but that's stretching it a lot. We've heard this cock and bull story at least twice in last 15 years. First with a MKII Probe and then Cougar. And how did that work out for them ? Another "spirit successor" and somebody needs to mow down the whole marketing department with a .50 caliber BMG. If Ford wants a coupe that actually sells, why don't they just take MKIII Capri, do modern twist and watch nation of mid life crisis baldness crashing trough the showroom window ? Rant over. I actually like it. A bit. Hope it will sell, so I can buy one in 20 years time and beg somebody to make it 4x4 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looks like a fat Corsa VXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RO55 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Aye ... Looks alreet like Taking inspration from the great Henry Ford. "You can have any colour you like! as long as its blue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Are we believing this? This is auto express remember! I think it looks acceptable, clearly the kind of car focus groups think is the way forward since it just looks like the renault megane. I agree with DaweV6's comment about making a decent coupe and having the midlife crisis balding men smashing through the showroom window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'd believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscortNreg Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 HATE the rear lights! The c pillar lights are what set focus apart if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
