While the styling on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/18/first-drive-ford-kuga-euro-spec/">regular Kuga</a> is attractive enough, a two door taking even more cues from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/IosisX/">Iosis X</a> concept is pretty damned delectible.<br /><br />Style might rule above substance, but that's not much to complain about, considering that Ford's EcoBoost engines ported from the Fiesta are what <em>AE</em> suggests will spin a PowerShift dual-clutch unit. The rest of the details, such as stop-start and superb dynamics, could all just be fantastical dreaming predicated on some good looking altered images; Ford's concentrating on the Focus and C-Max, with an MPV following on the heels of those two. If it does happen, we should see something on the show circuit for 2011. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/236932/kuga_coup_on_the_prowl.html">AutoExpress</a>, Photo:Miroslav]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/18/rendered-speculation-ford-kuga-crossover-to-get-rakish-coupe-co/">Rendered Speculation: Ford Kuga crossover to get rakish coupe counterpart?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:58:00 EST.
