While overall design is handsome and non-offensive. I find the devil in the details. The hood overhangs the front bumper in the Autoblog shots. The rear taillights on the decklid don't line up in the fender. The panel gap is larger than on the F150. While it may not be the final build there is more of a chance to get it right on a hand built model than on a standard production model.

The interior design appears to be helped by Volvo which is a great compliment and all of the features seal the deal but... the plastic outside of the painted pieces appears to be the same hard touch pieces out of the Mustang. The Mustang is fine example of a great interior design with poor percieved material quality.

All-in-all it is a fantastic package from Ford. If the Limited AWD shown comes in half of the Volvo S60 it is a steal. However, will the American public go for a large non-luxury car?

The rear is a modernized version of a 1960's Ford Galaxie, I think, I'll have to look this up, can anybody confirm this? A Great American automobile, can't wit to see it in New York along with the LaCrosse and Cruze.

Wow. It could possibly be the best Ford I've seen in decades.
