Courtesy car needs oil - was reading the small print of courtesy agreement and it is up to me to top it up. Anyway, weren't sure what oil it needed, searched Google, and stumbled across this.

I'm undecided about it

 I must admit, I haven't read the write up 
EDIT: Link doesn't seem to be working for me now. Here are the Google results:

It does have a bigger rear screen than the current one - visibility out of it is shocking.
I don't understand what is with the slanting doors either.
I definitely think Vauxhall has got the best looking one so far. Clio is ok, only in Renaultsport guise. Actually, Grande Punto is pretty tasty, albeit girly.

It has fairly similar styling to the new Mondeo. Not sure if I like it or not?

Could be right. It seems to have the stance and arches of a Punto, the back end of a Corsa and the front end of a Focus...

Those pictures look like shops, the perspectives are wrong, the wheels don't sit correctly either

They are definately renderings of some sort. Could be hand touched up hand drawings.

They look ratty as hell though e.g.
- around the Ford badge on the boot
- Front alloy sits too low and perspective on it
- front wheel arch towards the back at the bottom
- 2 door windows on the bottom picture are a totally different tint/shade to the smaller back one
- crease line in the boot for when it drops down for the ford badge and handle area .etc looks off
Could well be a render but it doesn't look like the sort Ford would knock out, more a Mr Gleaves home jobby with your mum making you cuppas every hour.
