Am I the only one that thinks "Honda Element" when I see that? God that thing is ugly, I wouldn't mind them actually going after Scion, but not with that.

lol, i came in just a little too late, i got all excited with all these new car threads... f-150 HD, this one, and the mercury meta, except all the pics are down by the time i got here. And now i've uselessly posted in each of these threads complaining about the lack of pics. I'm terribly sorry.

yup, definitely am not impressed with this little thing. I don't downright hate the xB or the element, i could even imagine getting an element, i mountain bike and snowboard and go camping a lot, so it could be practical. I'd have to touch it up of course, make it look a bit nice (the tail pipe is like a bendy straw on a juice box).
But this is just so obviously ford trying to catch onto a trendy new thing, copying what's already out there. All i've seen are pictures, but so far i'd say ford could've been a bit more original.

Ford media go word of the leaked pictures and had them all taken down.

Lets put it this way, it looks like Ford took a Honda Element and made it an armored car.

It looks as if it is cool to customize vans again like it was in the 1970's, with all the people touting the scion as a customizable vehicle. I might as well send the Areostar to "pimp my ride"

if it is based on a Fiesta, it must be small, the fiesta is one size down from a Focus. That thing must look like a shopping cart!

"Ford is aiming its low-priced concept squarely at young drivers and stylish city dwellers who crave style and fuel efficiency." - photo caption.

Seriously, how did the cube become so stylish?
