New models/concepts from upcoming Auto Shows: Ford Faction







Ford took an unusual turn in developing the Faction, a “concept SUV for urban lifestyles.” The first vehicle design to roll out of the automaker’s London-based Ingeni studio, it was heavily influenced not by automotive trends, but “by some of Europe’s leading furniture designs,” said Ford’s J Mays. The all-wheel-drive, three-door crossover is designed to take on crowded urban streets, rather than rugged off-road environs. It features doors that are easy to open in tight parking spaces, and City Eye, a camera system for spotting things hidden behind you.

Cool!!! I like the exhaust. The CityEye is neat too. Hard to tell how big it is but that is a cute little car-SUV thing.

I like the rims alot, and the interior is very simple, nice and clean. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up my Acura for it

That looks sweet, I really like the rear view screen.

There are small circles cut where the door handles should be, maybe you just push on them to open the door.
