Looks to me like someone started with a rectangle of steel and took a pocket knife, took a few cuts off of it, and called it a truck...But hey, not everyone can be a Ford Engineer.

Hey! They copied the Lincoln Continental. They're similar to the doors on my uncle's old '64 Continental. They were called "suicide doors," if I'm not mistaken.

This is the problem with posting stuff on the internet for all to see.

I spend countless hours working on my signature and somebody goes and steals it!

Question

C'mon guys - it's the first noticeable body style change GM has made in years! At least we know they still have "design engineers" working there, even if they are about 4-5 years old! I'm talking the engineers here!
To me, it looks like they took our F series truck style, cut off any sleek curves & were left with this! Either that or someone was playing around with a big cardboard box, cut the sides away & presto! The monster we see here! I personally CAN'T WAIT to see 1 driven around here so I can pull up to it at a light, look over, shake my head & LAUGH so hard I'll need a rubber seat cover!
Wonder if they will change their "Like a Rock" slogan to something like "HIT by a rock" now! LMSS! At least we can be thankful FORD isn't doing something like this - it would make me reconsider owning 1!!!!!

Thumbs up

Yes Dennis - they are called "suicide doors" & in this case it makes sense. Anyone with even a modicum of taste who had to ride in this would want to jump out & commit suicide! Is this REALLY going to be a PRODUCTION vehicle? Do they REALLY expect to SELL these or are they going to donate them to organizations for raffles? I know I wouldn't buy a ticket! I wouldn't even be able to give it away if I won it!

I know what's wrong with it. After careful consideration, I've decided that the reason we don't like it are the wheels. They don't fit the look of the tr(whatever the heck it is). I think square wheels would make this thing perfect.

Hey, yeah it's uglier than sin, but don't knock the GM engineers. They're simply copying that abortion of a design called the Ford Equator. See the similarities?

I only ask "Why?!"

Have any of you seen the Nissan Alpha-T? I saw some pics of it today from the NAIAS brochure a friend of mine brought over...I'll try and scan it when I get a brochure later this week, or maybe take a couple of pix... It's about as ugly as the GM Terror-dyne, and the Aztek... Mommy and Daddy, maybe?
