That's fine, as long as the rest of the vehicle carries over.
As for Mercury, I hope that they do it justice. If all we get is a Focus with a waterfall grille, I'd be disappointed. In fact if Ford of Europe is responsible for future designs, I hope they come up with a different look than the waterfall grille. Its getting tired. And the fact that Lincoln has traditionally been sold with their own version of a waterfall grille - and now a 'split wing' waterfall grille - right alongside similar looking Mercurys makes even less sense. I'd love to see something NEW that will grab the public's attention.

Every Mercury-ized FoE Kinetic vehicle I've seen with a waterfall grill has looked truly awful. They need to figure out some new design cues for the grill that are actually in harmony with the rest of the design.
