Ford is just using a standard "front end" fascia to establish a Corporate look - so that when you see the car from the front, you know it's a Ford...

Many vehicle Manufactures are doing this today - specifically with the large ass grilles and if you look at XYZ Manufacturer's entire product line from the front - it all kind of just blends together, with the only variance being different bodies or platforms that fascia is attached to...

Off topic a bit but I hope BMW does not intend to have the new M4 become the corporate grill. Might as well change their mascot to a beaver. That car is so hideous-didn't improve in person either. Saw my first one in person two weeks ago. At least some of the other models keep the older style.

BMW has swollen kidney grills. Fugly.

Well it was originally all the fronts looked like they were the Fusion, which looked like Aston Martin, and the Focus RS looks like it was heavily based on the 2015 Mustang front with some GT350 flavoring. So really the Mach1 is just another evolution of that style.

Look at the new GT500 it has the huge black bar in the front and the bottom instead of swooping inside to out its outside to in.

The gaping maw look is popular these days. Everything has to look like a truck.

Thoughts? Obviously different but I'd definitely wager this as an influence for some of the design cues.

Two great Fast Fords - Of all the S550 Front Ends, the Mach 1 is the nicest.
