Alongside the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-new-ford-fiesta/">new Fiesta</a>, Ford showed off the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/23/meet-the-production-ford-kuga/">production version</a> of the all-new Kuga crossover. Previewed by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/11/frankfurt-2007-ford-unveils-kuga-its-first-euro-made-cuv/">concept unveiled at the last Frankfurt show</a> and drawing on styling cues from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2005/08/30/ford-iosis-concept/">Iosis X</a> show car, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/14/geneva-2008-ford-kuga-set-to-attack-europe/">Kuga</a> is based on the same platform as the slicker Focus they get overseas. <br /><br />Although the Kuga is admittedly one more European model that Ford won't offer in its home market, we're not short of Ford crossovers to choose from over here, so we'll let the Europeans have this one. (Just give us the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/european-ford-focus-rs-teaser-hits-the-net-sales-begin-in-2009/">Focus RS </a>and we'll be happy.) But to see what we're missing, check out our gallery of images from the Geneva show floor by clicking on the thumbnails below. Unfortunately, although we're sure the Kuga rolled off its turntable at night after we were gone and duked it out with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/06/geneva-2008-renault-koleos/">Renault Koleos</a> for market share, we couldn't prove it. <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-ford-kuga-production">Ford Kuga</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-ford-kuga-production/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/ford_kuga_1280_01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-ford-kuga-production/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/ford_kuga_1280_02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-ford-kuga-production/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/ford_kuga_1280_03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-ford-kuga-production/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/ford_kuga_1280_04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-ford-kuga-production/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/ford_kuga_1280_05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/09/geneva-2008-production-ford-kuga/">Geneva 2008: production Ford Kuga</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Sun, 09 Mar 2008 11:03:00 EST.
