All New Ford, Liberty Inspired?

Well, call me crazy, but the all new ford range http://media.drive.com.au/?rid=35661
looks a little inspired, perhaps by a Liberty.
No, not totally, but looking at the lights both front and back they seem to be a move away from the older, incredibly uglier B series. This is very prominent i believe in the base model.

/myopinon

anyway, see if anyone else agrees.

I don't think i would ever buy a Falcon or Commodore.

But at least with the number of these vehicles on the road, esp due to fleet, the road won't be quite as ugly.

Yeah, seen. Not interested. They make a nice wallpaper, but in reality, it would not suit.

On a side note: Holden and Falcon have a very strange mentality along with many other manufacturers, they see an easy way to increase power is to increase capacity, and obviously it works, but where's the creativity. Take a formula one car for instance, the kW that they produce out of a 2.0L engine, someone put a little more thought into that.

Doesnt look a hell of a lot different to the last model BA.

At least the VE looks very different to the VZ.

Hi,

Two newish cars that look similar? Shock horror.

Sorry to sound rude, but every time a new car comes out, of course it is going to look like another car, or at least one section of another car...

Cheers,
Nik

Point taken, but the reference is that it look a little like a LIBERTY, and i thought if anyone, the members of this forum would find it more interesting that if it looked like any other model of car.

As for the F! engines, not the best practical example, but the idea that they put effort into making a limited size engine produce more power than by mean other than increasing capacity was the point.
