Sorry to say but you guy's are all wrong - it looks fantastic!

It looks better than the Mazda2, which the Kuga is "not" based on.

Don't hate it, apart from the lights, too much like a 207.

"Wrong!"

Quote from AutoExpress Weekly in the UK......who incidently love the car.

"Using a mixture of high strength and lightweight steels, the Ford Fiesta shares its platform with the acclaimed Mazda 2 – noted for its fine handling and swift reflexes."

I think you misread what I typed. The Ford Kuga crossover is not based on the Fiesta/Mazda2 platform.

Hmmm... this will have to grow on me.

Hopefully it looks better in the flesh - I can't help but think this should be the next Hyundai Getz, as the rear is so i30!

It looks great. The current Fiesta's shape looks like a late 90s Honda CRV.
