BHPian | ![]() For me it looks impressive. Am more impressed with the concept and the intermediate versions than the final version (to be?) in Casino Royale. The car looks small in the final version than the concept. Am posting pics of the intermediate versions (The triangle shapes in the bumper have disappeared and the rear view mirrors are in place): ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Final version (as of now): ![]() Last edited by LandCruiser : 22nd December 2006 at 11:56. |

The original concept seems to have been watered down considerably, and most of the engine choices are existing mills. | |

| ![]() not impressed much after seeing the pics. I doubt it will be a danger for HONDA and TOYOTA. But definately, HYINDAI SONATA will lose some customers because both the companies r not great imagewise. |

| ![]() Not in Europe. Mondeo has a tremendous following there, where waft-o-matic machines like the Camry are despised. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Agreed Cali they both are great cars! A very close friend of mine up in Columbus also owns a Mazda 6 2.3! But my point still stands that US cars don't work in European markets whereas European cars do very well in the US for eg. BMW, Merc, Audi, VW, Acura TSX, Mazda 6 etc. P.S. Nice choice of cars!! |

| ![]() Ford is mulling over a US launch for this one. Wonder how it will fare, now that the US market has become more receptive to Euro dynamics. The Contour/Mystique were monumental failures for all the wrong reasons. |
