    Must... not... lookuponhideousform!

    I have no idea what they're doing here... I can't imagine they'd actually market this pig in any manner even remotely close to the way it looks right now.

    IOW, this could be the Best. Mule. Ever.

    It's one thing to camo the SLR as a Cerbera or the SLS as the Viper, but I didn't think they'd go far as to graft the Dodge Nitro face on a prototype.

    Bad idea. Nothing cheapens a brand with entry-lux aspirations like a compact. Maybe Mercury should come out with a new Tracer based on the Focus and Chrysler can resurrect a Caliber-based LeBaron.

    Oh dear, I can see it now. A Buick Astra GNX, like Pontiac with the Ventura GTO.

    That would be hilarious.

    The Astra's a pretty good car, so Buick could fare far worse. But I'm not sure where they'll ever find the room for the portholes.

    @the lesser of two weevils:

    I saw three behind the door of a beat-to-death Eclipse a few weeks back.

    And yes, they appeared to be randomly oriented and spaced.

    I was so sure Mitsubishi made a four-seat mid-engined coupe in the past 15 years....

    I love the very subtle Jalopnik decal on the side of the car. It is a promise from Mercedes to make this car light, pure, simple, and fun. Also, I much prefer this decal to the "Copyright Chris Doane/Brenda Priddy & Company" seen on some cars, and those weird floating KGP Photography chin spoilers.

    The sedan's grille is consistent with Ford's new US design direction, which is no direction whatsoever.

    Dull as it was, I preferred the "Meet Dave" days to this overly-busy, scattershot crap.

    One more facelift and they'll finally be able to stretch the lights right up the A-pillar. And I can't quite tell if the center stack is a Transformer or a Bionicle. So confusing. But if handles well and goes like scoot, I will sit down and shut up. Oh yeah: hatchback with a manual turbo in gray, thanks.

    I do not like the proportions of the sedan at all. It's clearly an aftermarket for the USDM. Why can't we have the 3 door? Oh wait, marketing departments and focus groups said we won't buy them.

    I believe Ford added the grill in order to turn those that would finally be happy that the Fiesta is coming right back into forum arsonists. Flames make the Internet world go round, thanks Ford!

    @Pessimippopotamus: The US has different crash regulations from the Euro ones. Ergo, the nose is longer for more energy absorbance. You should blame NHTSA for screwing up the front end.

    @philibuster: I disagree. Longer nose is one thing. Adding a pointlessly garish chrome bits and reducing the lower opening has nothing to do with crash regulations. Or redesigning headlight designs for that matter.
