Being dubbed a family car is never a good sign. The term carries many negative connotation with it, and we here at John Bleakley Ford can't blame anyone who avoids them like the plague. However, Ford is looking to combat this often negative term by introducing a new style to the segment, as well as a slew of new technologies.

Similar to how Ford made the compact and subcompact segments ignite with the introduction of newly designed variants of the enticing Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta Hatchback respectively, the American automaker is now looking to the new Evos concept to spice up the family car segment. But what exactly will make this new concept model stand out from the competition? Two words: Style and technology.

The edgy Evos concept is more akin to a sports car than a family one. It features sinuous lines, a bold front end, and an overall inactivating presence the hooks in our attention, then refuses to let go. Rumors currently claim that the new sedan will be all electric, while others boast that it will be a plug-in hybrid. Meanwhile, some are even claiming that it could become a new flagship model for the company.

Presence and power aside, the other attractive feature of the new Ford Evos concept is the technology that it packs inside. More specifically, the vehicle is set to make use of leading-edge cloud technology, which stores information on external servers, rather than an internal hard drive or a connected smartphone. This is a huge deal in the realm of infotainment systems, as it means that drivers will be able to access music, navigation coordinates and other files much easier behind the wheel. In the end, this could even lead to a new level of connectivity for drivers that has not been seen before.

For now, however, we must simply wait to learn more. Current rumors peg the Ford Evos concept as having a big debut planned for the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show.
