Should be better in every way than whatever Craptastic Dolden Sqaud can come up with.

WOWEEEE
What a ripper, and going by past and recent Ford Euro products, should handle and perform well. If it doesn't sell adequetly it won't be the vehicles fault. Really does show just how ordinary the Captiva is, Actually also shows just how ordinary the RAV, CRV and Forester are as well.

Also is just me or do the Headlights look a lot like the headlights from the Mercedes-Benz ML and GL SUVs

Looks awesome, hopefully the trend of road cars looking like concept cars continues throughout the range. Kinetic is the shiznit!

Same old problem... I bet you there'll be a "lack of stock" and it'll never take off downunder.
It looks good though.

Remember that it built on the Focus platform, that's being assembled here in OZ from 2010/11. It would make a nice little brother to the Territory

The front kind of looks 'Orionish' with the gaping mouth from the released CGIs.

That's the kinetic design language doing it's work...
Would it be a bit annoying having the Ford Kuga and Toyota Kluger in similar classes?

Ford Australia have put their hand up and with a bit of luck it should be here in '09, depending on wether they can get a supply from Europe, which shouldn't be a problem. Probably not in the numbers they want though, just all the other Euro stuff they can't get enough stocks of.

The craptiva is narrow and tall. If you are basing your ideas of it being copied by ford then I suppose all cars with 4 doors and 4 wheels are copies. Also, the craptiva is built in a nation that copies more cars than not. I don't see anyone in germany or even europe saying; "gee, I wonder what Korea is making? Lets copy that because their cars are so well ahead of ours"

Are you people for real? I don't see any Craptiva in it, not even remotely.
