AutoZine Awards 2011

Concept Car of the Year

Ford Start
The clean and simplistic approach of Ford Start concept contrasts to the current trend of design, which emphasizes aggressive edges and curves (see other finalists below). It reminds us the days of Ford Ka, when simple was thought to be beautiful. The most beautiful of the Start is, it pursues beauty without resorting to complication, hence unnecessary weight. It works well with all kinds of colors, unlike flame-surfacing that works only under light reflection. It's time to go back to basics.
