I agree that the 4 spoke wheel looks too bulky. I'm also not a fan of the high beltline and skinny side windows a la 300M. Overall,I'm not a fan of most of the recent Ford styling trends and this does nothing to change my mind.
It's funny,Ford seems to be doing the most of the old "big 3" to try and change. I want to like their stuff but they just don't seem to hit the mark for me when it comes to style.
