Saw this car on tv from the detroit auto show…
DAMN!
They stole some lines from their jaguar division. That car is sexy! Wonder what they will have under the hood…
Unless you’re referring to Tata, it’s no longer ‘their’ Jaguar division.
Post up a pic
im getting a red x here at work so here is the link for those who cant see it

Yeah, it is a good looking vehicle. From what I understand there is a heavy German influence in the new car.
Looks like a Ford Mondeo (European Full Size Sedan)
AWD with SHO ecoboost in there would be sweet!!! ;D
Yeah that is the ford Mondeo. I don’t see how it is all new apart from a couple of new engines, but that design has been around for a while

Pity there is no awd, but it does come with a 2.5l turbo.
it’s funny how a Mondeo is a ‘full sized gas guzzler’ over there lol
My Aunt was here from Scotland and was looking at a Ford Focus. She said 'that’s not a Focus. That thing is huge! I guess the Euro focus is smaller (and much more fun). I told her up until last year that was the smallest Ford over here. Now the tiny Fiesta is the smallest Ford. Her response was telling.
“Really? At home, the Fiesta is quite a big car!”
I thought that was nuts. She drives a Ford Ka. It’s the size of a baby stroller.

It isn’t, the current Ford Focus was Ford’s first same car for the world and this followed through on the fiesta and I am sure it will continue on other models
It is funny how Europeans interprit size differently, I mean they think the back seats in the B6/B7 are big enough for people on long trips
it’s weird. When I went there 4 years ago it hit me then regarding the size differences, especially in the UK. The Zafira is touted as a people mover. It’s based on an Astra chassis and is as small as. But over there when you see it, it appears as a medium/large car … The trouble is that most of the cars over there are small eco boxes which skews the appearance of these smaller cars. Wasn’t till I got home that I got my perspectives back in place! 
Btw, I can personally attest to the B6 having NO room in the back seat!!
Yeah no doubt. I’ll admit I’m an only child so the biggest car my parents had was a Fiesta, but my mates with siblings never had a car bigger than a focus. In my last UK job, the biggest car a colleague had was an A4 2.0 TDI Avant (FWD).
I had to drive a Mondeo once - very nice ride, well equipped and trimmed inside. I doubt the Fusion will be so nice inside, judging by how VW butchered the Jetta for the NA market.
It wasn’t current. We were on the road, not at an autoshow. It was the North America focus wagon from about 6-7 years ago that we saw on the road.

im weak in the knees for the new focus st coming out. GOD that thing is awesome. finally bringing the real focii from overseas. thinking about giving the woman my gti since she loves it so much and maybe leasing the focus…hmmm, we’ll see when it comes
Having driven a mid-2000’s vintage Focus ST, those things are a BLAST! 2.5T from Volvo = big grin. Plus it’s just like a regular Focus so there’s room for the shopping too.
I am very partial to the new fiesta, if I had to update the spare car that’s what I would get.
