Talking About Automobiles

The Ford Motor Company does not have plans of selling this gorgeous new compact car in the North American auto market yet. But the new Kuga crossover is sure to make its way to the other side of the Atlantic.

Ford based the Kuga from its ongoing Ford Focus and it is going to be seen dashing the show floor during the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Ford also revealed that the new crossover vehicle can be purchased in early 2008.

The new car will be made in Germany under the stylish and artistic direction of Martin Smith who is a Opel design czar and now the present head of the Ford studios in Europe.

The Kuga was first seen at the 2005 Frankfurt show wearing the iosis X concept which was actually the inspiration of the soon-to-be production car. The new car is a living proof that it is possible to combine both features of a wagon and an SUV to create a high performing sporty flair of a coupe package.

The new Kuga is given the front- and four-wheel-drive variants but the show car will be handling a 136-horsepower 2.0-liter Duratorq common-rail turbo diesel engine as released by the Inside Line this morning. It is given more performance drive through its six-speed manual transmission.

These are the following car parts on the vehicle that you should expect to see when the Kuga is set out on display at the show car at the Frankfurt Auto Show:

• Panoramic glass roof
• Split tailgate that incorporates a rear backup camera
• High-mounted taillamps
• Sculpted rear bumper with integral diffuser
• Ebony leather orange piping cabin
• Accented in piano white trim

Other equipment and standard car parts are all found on Ford’s official website.
