It certainly looks horrible.

Like a big ugly fiesta.

Jumping on the Renault idea of revising a model a million times before doing something original again.

I'd like to see it in another colour before saying I hate it.

 

[Ben]

Agreed with the comment that it looks like a big ugly Fiesta.

 

[Murray_SL]

what do you mean as in revised? because its not a facelift..?

 

[Gally]

Just different model like escort to focus mate.

 

[Gally]

I like it, i'm a ford fan boi tho!

 

[Christopher]

I actually quite like it.

 

[Ian_182]

I like it,

An RS version would look awsome...

 

[fUbAr]

Not too bad

Interior looks great!

The interior definitely looks a lot more modern! My brother drives a 1.6 08 focus zetec and the one complaint I have is that the dials etc are just rather DULL.. so its good to see Ford has addressed this with a bit more classy and hi-tech approach

 

[m4rkie23]

more impressed with the interior than the exterior. good idea of whats to come in generic cars tho.

 

[Mr Burns]

Front looks pretty good, not keen on the back end much though.

 

[Magic Johnson]

Do not want.

 

[clio_luke]

not keen.
looks a bit like a 4x4

 

[Reyes]

Death.

 

[Ltfcpaul]

SO GASH I HAVE TO SHOUT IT!

Never said it was. Just looks s**t. Unoriginal. Not much different from the last.

Much like the MK6 Golf.

 

[J03]

ahright i get what you mean

 

[mat-nos]

wtf are those rear lights, not a fan at all.....

american styling at its worst, RS might make it look better but it still looks like an mpv.

they are using the original focus's reputation as a selling point, so keep restyling/improving the original mk1 and they will sell a shed load all day everyday...

Theres no need for a "new" Model as such, because Ford have a car that covers every section of the market.

So a new model would just be a Rename.

And theres no need to do that because of how sucessfull the focus name has been for them.

I really like it tbh

As for the RS model

This is the design from a friend of mine that won the Autocar/Ford design comp, To design the Next Focus RS.

 

[Josh220]

It's ok. I take it there will be a 3 door version? Couldn't see one in the pics.

 

[Darren85]

See this when it first popped up on PH.. What's with manufactures making bigger and smaller versions of similar looking cars! Ghastly.. The Fez is nice but now the Focus.. Totally out of proportion and looks totally sh!t.. Pfft

 

[BREMBO]

Looks like a Ford

 

[Ian_182]

looks good.It will still sell like hot cakes.

Best seller for the last 10 years i believe,they must be doing something right...
