The the Kuga and place it between a new Euro Focus and a BMW X5 and you'll see that it takes much more of the details from the Focus. This is current Ford Europe design, nothing else.]]>Mar 9th 2008 11:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 11:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 5:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/ Could make a good Mercury Mariner.]]>Mar 9th 2008 11:55AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Granted it looks much better than the Escape but then again, thats not saying much. I think there are better looking CUV's out there (Like the Mazda CX7)]]>Mar 9th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/
I agree, this would have made a great replacement for the Escape. The Edge is nice enough, but it's huge. With the demise of the Focus wagon, Ford of North America really has nothing small and practical. ]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/
Though the Kinetic Design does have a distinctive look, it's quite easy to see a few recognisable features under the clothes of the Kuga - look at the side crease.

Overall though, can't wait, should get some grand reviews - it's a whole lot more cohesive looking than the CR-V too...]]>Mar 9th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/Mar 9th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/image39055_b.jpg

The grill looks like it should be jutting forwards, but it isn't, so it just looks strange.]]>Mar 9th 2008 9:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/
I ask because those headlights look DOT-compliant. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the orange/amber reflectors in the headlights are only required in the US - and are not very common in Europe. I was under the impression that European designs usually went for an amber bulb and a color-less reflector]]>Mar 10th 2008 10:29AM
