NOOOooooooooooooo!

 

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.

 

wow

never thought ford would go so low
why go against scion? who cares. ford will ruin their name

armored truck/clown car

 

isnt that the "Model U" or something thats suposed to be completely modular* or something? i remember some hype about that a while back... supposed to be the Model T of the future. like a hybrind that everyone can afford or something.


*god u have no idea how long it took me to remember that word. i knew what it ment n the first 3 letters but i totally blanked out! i HATE it when that happens. it was rite on the tip of my tongue untill i remembered an article that had the word n MMFF so i checked n remembered YAY!! :w00t:

 

BON had to take all photos off because of Ford.

 

am i the only one that sees no pictures?

the model U was the one that was made out of soya beans or something right?

 

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.

 

BON in trouble with Ford legal? Now there's a real shocker!

 

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.

 

Same here, I didnt see anything

 

me 3

 

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"

 

hmmm... aerostar eh? that gives me an idea for my upcoming mech eng event, "Pimp My Couch"

 

Can't see the pics...

The first thing that came to mind when I saw it is, Brinks Armored truck.

 

eww

 

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!

Seriously, how did the cube become so stylish?

 

Cubism??
