I kind of like it. The roof line reminds me of a 48 Ford coupe. From a marketing standpoint, it would be in direct conflict with the Mustang IMO.

... I like it, but is the design language retro 1948 Ford or 1950 "shoebox Ford,"  or both? 

Either way, it's kind of cool.... but for me to lay down any cheddar,  it would have to be a convertible, or maybe a hardtop - which ruins the "retro look,"  right?   🤨

Doesn't "suffer" have 2 "f"s in it?

Suffering Ford

Or is it a "surfer-mobile"? Whatever. It's a bit of a lump.

@jkuvakas ...ah yes, the Nissan Figaro!    I kind of like those too - they're all convertibles!  😀 😀    Too bad (for me ) the car wasn't American.   I think the Ford looks better.

I'd take it over any of the crappy SUV's and Vans we've had shoved down our throats for the past two decades.  It would be a welcome step back to a time when cars were fun and not utilitarian.  Bring it on!

It has potential...a little tweaking here and there and it could be a cute coupe.

I also had an immediate '48 Ford coupe impression.  I like it but its a bit too stubby in the tail end.

Not for me…too stodgy looking.

The profile reminds me of this 86 Lincoln. A little smaller version.

It shouldn't be, "What if", it should be, "When?" I am not a fan of the flat paint colors, this one reminds me of the primer-painted cars of yesteryear. It has a Euro look and feel to it but as a two door coupe, I'd welcome it.

Overall, it's pleasing to my eye, but the proportions seem wrong. Stubby, low roofline? I'll save the photos and tweak, when time permits. Thanks for sharing this one, John.

When it grows up, it may look more like a Bentley Continental GT Speed.
