Very true, they at least had data up front to explain the reason for the flo-tie. All I know is that this "grille surround" increases rigidity. I want to know how it does it. Admittedly its a bit of an over engineered piece for the car but its functional at least. Not knocking Ford for the "grille surround" but it makes it sound like the car is just built to a specific price point rather than what is really, ultimately achievable. I understand that leaves room for a more potent R version so I know there's more to come.

Again, not knocking it, just curious about what they really did to the car.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not underwhelmed by the car at all and I can't wait to see and hear one but I was expecting a bit more. Guess the R version may utilize more technology like carbon fiber body panels, carbon brakes, potentially different suspension pieces etc.
