The stance looks like a cat arching it's back and hissing. It looks like it will fall over if you look at it cross-eyed.

The interior intrigues me. Where's the shifter, and in what direction does it move? I'm not so sure about that radically sloping console.

I usually like the styling on American cars but I have to say this is one of the ugliest concepts I've ever seen.

A far percentage are made, they just are made more sensible before they release them. It wouldn't exactly be practical with those wheels would it.

Am I the only one who quite likes it then? Well IF Ford put most of this into the production car I want it to be a success - no more blandness. Yes it does look like a grumpy cat, but that is good.
