Frankfurt Preview: Kuga CUV to be Ford's first Euro hybrid
Ford will be unveiling a new mid-sized crossover for the European market with styling based on last year's Iosis-X concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The Kuga gets the full kinetic design treatment that debuted on the current Mondeo. While the US has had the Escape hybrid for a couple of years now, Automotive News is reporting that the Kuga will be Ford's first hybrid for the European market when it debuts next spring.

Why does Europe always get great looking cars from GM and Ford but we get the sloppy looking stoggie versions? Why don't they sell the same cars everywhere like Audi, BMW, etc. Talk about waste in manufacturing!

I can't wait to see the final design in sheetmetal. It looks great on paper. I am dying to hear the specs, particularly the weight. It's definitely a shame we won't see this here, this and the s-max. I think the next gen S-Max should be Fords return to the minivan market in the US.
