Ford Design is getting attention. The Mazda Ryuga and the Volvo XC60 Concept are notable for their avant-garde style and Ford’s commitment to design is evident throughout every one of their brands.
“The Lincoln MKR is amazing,” says Rich Maxon, a muscle car enthusiast from Grosse Pointe Woods who likes the sportier direction Lincoln is taking. His wife Karlyn is a longtime Mustang fan. “The styling is impeccable,” she says of the Giugiaro Mustang “I love looking at it.”
“It’s a real boss-looking car” enthuses Jim Martin, who was at the show to look at the Shelby GT500 but fell in love with the Interceptor. “I’d stand in line to buy the Interceptor.”
Ford’s designers tell us that the design cues–like clean, uncluttered surfaces, and powerful, dynamic beltlines– in these concept cars will make up the “new DNA” of the next generation of cars.
