Ford Iosis?













What do you think? I like the looks of it. Kind of like a G35 with a little RX8 thrown in.

Re: Ford Iosis?

It is Ford's version of the Opel Insignia concept. Not very original.

Re: Ford Iosis?

Looks good, IMHO. Doesn't Ford own Mazda? Does that mean this is built on the RX8 platform?

I like it. But the name sounds like a skin condition.

They need to get rid of the chrome on their grilles. Reminds me of their truck line

Good-looking car. Worst name in the universe.

I wouldn't want one, the name sounds like a disease.

Excellent looking design though.

Re: Ford Iosis?

Like it

Any shots with all the doors open yet? I wonder if the rears are front or rear hinged? Looks like the trunk maybe some sort of liftback, but hard to tell.

Re: Ford Iosis?

Doesn't look like a Ford, but it still looks great.

Give it a 3v SOHC 5.4L and Don't ask question, just build it Ford.

This shot looks great. http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/ima...61218601842682

I hope GM has some great stuff for NAIAS 2006 because I'm sick of looking at all these nice RWD coupes and sedans from DCX and Ford.
