For the 723rd time from my keyboard....
Ford... get this f'in car on the lots here NOW.
What morons not to bring this into our market.
I bet it turns heads EVERYWHERE they drive it up in Michigan, and THAT is the land of prototypes and unususal vehicles no less.
IMAGINE - THAT car in black with chromed 18's, maybe a tad lower, tinted windows, and matte trim... ... ... ... squirt.

Don't get me wrong, I think it looks pretty decent (at least from a cell phone pic) but I wonder if GTO's lukewarm public reception is holding Ford back.

I dunno, it reminds me a quite bit of the GTO as far as the inconspicuous nature of its styling. And most people didn't feel GTO was a head-turning vehicle.

I think this car is more edgy, crisp, and the front rake is better. I also love the big grill opening that looks like it is feeding gobs of cold air to some monster inside as opposed to two kidney beans that looked like nostrils.
This car strikes me. It's got that "something" that clicks for me, and I suspect it does for many other car guys as well.

What would be even better is if they could produce it here too.
The we would have an American made Ford that isn't just another FWD appliance. With the new Camaro, G8, and hopefully Impala we would have a new fleet of cars American by heart, not by badge,

I like it because it is sporty looking, but they styling looks dated to me for some reason, like 5 years old. Maybe it is a bad pic.
It looks like a car that would be a big hit with the import crowd.
I also saw the likeness to the GTO when I first saw the picture, but more stretched and flattened.

If I ever remember my camera I'll get more pics from every angle. Car seems to always be in that "parking lot" during the day. Trying to find out what is under the hood and more info before the blue excursions pull up.
