Exclamation Ford Fairlane development video..... the REAL one, not the concept!

This video (found by empowah at cheersandgears.com) has not just pictures of the concep, but detailed shots of the real thing!

Parts are from the model making area, others are from what seems to be product development meetings, and, believe it or not, consumer clinics.

Vey intresting, and very cool.

That's pretty neat.
Kinda reminds me of reading "All Corvettes Are Red", except a Ford CUV version

If you know where to look in that video, you will see the front of the next Mustang, one crossover that was intentionally "fuzzed", and a rear clip of a Lightning smoking the rears.

There's also some neat interior shots.

Happy hunting!

PS - I didn't say they were all super-clear and all-showing. If they were, they would have been "fuzzed" too. But they are there!

Not sure why people are taking potshots at this yet. It's a people mover and that segment is what digs companies out of the hole if you can capture the public with it. The vehicle isn't bad looking. Looks to be fairly spacious.

The concept is AWD so AWD for the production model isn't out. Toss in that Duratec 35, take the next step in improving the interior...you have a vehicle that can steal SUV buyers in an era of escalating gas prices. If they don't price it out of it's sweet spot that is.

To be honest...if I had a wife,kid and a dog and this was on the market in the right price range. I'd be all over it.

There's a far better picture of that "fuzzed" crossover a very short time later in a picture on the studio wall in a photo or computer rendition behind Richard Gresens on the 2nd shot of him talking immediately after the shots of the clay console and door panel.

The nose of that picture is also blurred but not quite as bad.

Also, if someone can blow up the picture of the Mustang please?
