fuzzymoomoo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Am I the only one that doesn't care for the door handles? I'm right there with you. At least there's a button and it's not touch activated. Edited January 11, 2016 by fuzzymoomoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there's a button and it's not touch activated.The gif I posted almost looked like it IS touch sensitive/activated. To me, it looked like you put your hand in the handle, touch it, it releases the latch, and then you pull on the handle.

Anthony Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Now that we have actual Ford produced photos, I take back any doubts. This thing looks great. Award for best looking side mirrors goes to the Continental (and I sooooooo dig those integrated door handles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Gorgeous! Let's hope the one they actually reveal at the show isn't white! Did they have the press conference live anywhere? Or recorded? I was on my way to work when it went on (I think it was a 9am right?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Reynolds Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Very well done. Everything from the powertrain to the seats seem very well executed. I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel of one. Edited January 12, 2016 by Michael Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
