Im not really sure if i like it, the front end does look pretty cool though. Wow, that is one small intercooler, o well, as long as it gets the job done.

Scorps

Small intercooler means small turbo.

Or it could be a throwback to the Ranchero

What are Chevy headlights doing on a Ford?

It looks pretty good, wouild like to see some more pics, though.

Stare At The Sun

I simply put, like it.

It could also be something they pulled out of ford australia. El camino style cars-with-a-bed still sell there as (see the Ford Falcon Ute for a current model year example). The F6 on the license plate would seem to suggest Falcon6 or some such.

Front looks very very euro
Not sure if the idea of racing trucks makes any sense to me.

Not liking it at all. Too much bling bling, looks like a pimp mobil.

i'll wait for something better from ford before i would consider buying one of their cars (apart from the focus whick i like).

Back to the drawing would be what i'd say to the designer.

For what ever reason, if it has wheels and a motor, <A HREF="http://www.letsmow.com/">someone will race it</A>.

Now as far as this vehicle goes, I think it looks butt ugly. And I'm a Ford fan (well, I drive a Mustang at least).

Lockjaw

That's an Aussie Ford. I6 Turbo ute? Definate Aussie.
They wouldn't bring anything like that over here. We already have the Lightning(which they just killed) so I don't think they would bring a weaker version of it over.
Now if they bring over the Falcon sedan...with that turbo 6. We'd have a winner indeed.

The headlamps look like the Acura RSX's headlamps :P

Honestly (and IMO), I think it's really ugly. I wouldn't want to see Ford bring back the Ranchero with something that looks like that. The front end is euro and jap, neither of which are american. I think that American cars should look American. From the Viper and Corvette, to the Magnum and 300c, American cars are really striving to reinvent the American car. Why not go the same route as the Mustang? Just take a ranchero and update from there.

Vortex22

Those headlights are taken directly off the RSX..
The front looks more similar to some of the cars Ford sells outside of the US IMO, kind of like that Austrailian one, I think it's called the Falcon or something.

Edit: I didn't read the thread and everything I said has already been discussed. doh

Franz

Not too bad but I'm glad that I bought an F-150...

todd

El Camino is first thing that came to my mind too.

It's actually a pretty interesting design. I'd like to see some other shots

Halx

did I say euro? shit.. I meant japanese. The headlights ARE RSX headlights and the grille is a 6th gen Accord Coupe grille.

I'm pretty sure that's a concept that's Australian only. It's based on the Falcon XR6Turbo Ute, like the FPV F6 Typhoon is based on the XR6 Turbo Sedan.
Highly doubt you'd be seeing them in America, market probably wouldn't be there.
http://www.fpv.com.au/ is the website of Ford Performance Vehicles, you can probably get some more on the F6 Tornado and the F6 Typhoon there.

And it'd be in no way trying to compete with US cars, because it'd be for the Australian market only.
Just clearing things up.

http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=2.532 is the link for the F6 Tornado if you want to see it.
http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=2.440 that is the F6 Typhoon, the sedan.
And they're based on styling of currently popular cars in Australia...

artist rendition for sure.

BoltedDown

Ditto... the SSR doesn't even fall into the category of sport-truck (IMHO)

Scorps

Beat me to it......I don't know what chevy has headlights like that? but I think they do look more like the RSX headlights


I'm a chevy guy, they are still ahead with HP but looks I don't they are there yet with the SSR.

Destrox

If i want a car I buy a car, if I want a truck I buy a truck.

Not that sad looking thing on wheels.

Sad.

Looks sweet. Nice specs too. I changed my mind about these cars after I saw a test drive of Dodge Ram SRT-10. I've never seen 3 tons go that fast on a racing court

Lockjaw

Fast trucks are a wonderful thing. Something nice about being able to carry a bed full of junk or furniture and still be able to dust off 90% of the cars on the road bone stock while doing so.

f0rd

Cool concept, but what's with the RSX headlights??

ringla

that car is pretty sick looking... i like it!
