2010 Ford C-Max Revealed

That's a fine looking car. Can Ford do no wrong in Europe?

ford's kinetic design works well on its cars - in europe for that matter. i can't help thinking that they could have done zafira's 5+2 seating set up as its strong selling point. no figures on the engine or the interior shots yet? that might give us a clue of the next focus.

Nice, yet the front of the profile view looks a bit awkward, but I guess the pedestrain impact regulations are responsible for this.

It has a sort of Kuga/SMax look to it, especially at the rear. Its nice, but im not sure if i want the next focus to look similar

in fact it looks just like a Kuga only smaller

All in all a bit of a let down after the last Iosys Smax concept. This certainly looks a little dumpier and less well proportioned. The detailing really isn't up to Ford's usual high standard either. The profile looks too similar to the Seat Altea. I hope the Focus is a little tighter or Ford will struggle in Europe.

this is one good looking car!

...bordering on the "dull" but still okay. Glad to see the lights work. Hope the new Focus doesn't have a resemblance to this!

just wait for some time and Hyundai would come up with a similar design as they did with a recently launched model.

Ford Kuga copy-paste. But I don't mind, it's very nice. I like the Ford's kinetic design...

Looks pretty good here. But I don't want this to be a preview of the next ford focus in the same way the first C-max was.

Just take a Ford KA and a Ford Fiesta and out comes the C-Max, nice car; more could be done to make it different from there other models

By the way, it appears that the C-Max -was- designed with the USA market in mind: note the fact the front turn signal lights are integrated into the headlamp housing, which is very common on US-market automobiles. Since the new C-Max shares the same platform as the current Mazda3, it's likely the US version will use the Mazda-sourced 2.5-liter I-4 rated at 167 bhp (SAE 08/04 net). If this is the same engine found on the North American market Ford Fusion saloon, there's a chance the US-market C-Max may also sport a six-speed automatic, which means surprisingly good fuel economy, too.

For me it's not the best new europe-Ford. The proportions are a bit critical. I see a lot of potential in this nice designaspects, but they dosn't really fit to each other. The front- and rearlights are pretty big. the result of this is the thin and high look of the car. The great kinetic design seems to end before the idea of proportions is found. The Ford S-Max was designed as a sportive Galaxy. But there we have an equal problem like the C-Max. The Galaxy has very well proportions. The S-Max is more dynamic. But the roof-line is to flat or to wide, so the S-Max looks unfine proportioned. For me the current C-Max is more boring, but also nicer..
