They do look similar.

How come? EDIT: nevermind, I saw the other thread.

Didn't he pen the current Mustang (at least the concept before the current model, if not)?

The one thing that stood out to me in that article was a wrong piece of information. It was talking about how the 2004 F-150 changed everything when it came to a truck back in 2003. It then went on to say how 2004 was the first year the F-150 offered 4 doors, which is false. I don't know exactly what year it was that they started offereing 4 full doors, but it wasn't 2004.

The article mentioned Ford India producing a small car by 2010, and it also mentioned possibly using Mazda underpinnings for a small vehicle. My question is, isn't that what the Verve/Fiesta is, essentially a Ford badged Mazda 2? And if so, maybe the model they are talking about will just be the Verve/Fiesta.

It appears so, thankfully.

That's a nice looking car. And, yes, just slightly off topic.

I seem to remember reading that somewhere too.

Same happened here. It was very annoying.

What? I think you posted in the wrong topic. This is 'CTS coupe' not 'best in show' or whatever it's called. No big deal though.

That's all the front end looks like, a Camry station wagon. I don't think Edge sales are slipping either. I didn't even realize this is only a 5 passenger vehicle. That's stupid, it looks like it should be a 7 passenger vehicle.

I think the Murano is ugly, it's interior is nice though. The Highlander, to me, is ok, not great, but ok. This Venza (what kind of name is that?) is ugly to me, except on a side profile from the b-pillar back. Pile on from Honda? With what? Pilot? The current one is dying and the concept/prototype is ugly. Sales for Edge slipping? Remember the market is shrinking, as well. Flex will be available sometime this summer, from what I understand, along w/ MKS.

Well, I guess they had to copy the design of the vehicle that's outselling it's own beloved Highlander. It appears they also copied Ford's stepped or step down headlights.

I agree, that shifter placement is horrible. Did you notice as well, the horrible quality plastic they used around the push button starter and to the left of the shifter? The only comparison of plastics that's close to those plastics that I can think of is the stuff they make artificial legs out of (for the calves), or maybe some kid's toy or legos or something.

I think it's ugly for the most part. I think on a side profile view, from the b-pillar back looks ok, but the front is ugly. The rear looks like it belongs on a Volvo to me.

I think the an article I read mentioned a bus license was required in that area for him to drive one of these vehicles.

Ok, I didn't think it was just me, since it wouldn't work on AOL, Interenet Explorer, or my iPhone. It did happen a lot today. I tried to post this topic at least 5 times before I was actually able to.

I like the concept's taillight combo better (full width red lights, with reverse lights down near the license plate area)

What is there to say about it?

I agree (except when it's a Chrysler product). Just kidding....or am I?

I agree.

He was saying instead of giving just them new interiors to redo the entire vehicle, starting from scratch. I personally don't think new interiors are going to help sales too much.

I understood what you meant.

I thought it was to be a Chrysler badged vehicle? At least according to this article it is: http://www.leftlanenews.com/nissan-to-supp...small-cars.html

Now THAT would be a major update for the 300!! Those stupid hood ribs dont need to go on every product.
