New Focus is really nice

[HashiriyaS14]

Actually, I'd go so far as to call it "beautiful". I think it's the nicest looking small car design I may have ever seen, with the possible exception of the new Fiat 500.

And finally, USDM and EDM Foci will all be the same.











Ford is eating everyone but maybe Hyundai for breakfast right now. Who'd have thought anyone would've uttered that sentence 3-4 years ago?

hate the tail lights. whole package makes me think mazda 3.

[Salem240]

I can't wait to see it in person... if it's as good as it looks in those renderings, Ford has def got a winner!! Nice

I like the side profile. For a modern economy car (tall and awkward, all of them) you can't ask for better. Look forward to driving one.

^^This is a good point. It's high off the ground even though the wheel/fender clearance is fairly tight for a stock car. Why the hell are the wheels so huge on a little econo-car?

What happened to these things having 13-14" wheels? I don't want 17's on a C-segment vehicle, it's idiotic.

Otherwise though, just in regards to the sheetmetal, I still think it's gorgeous.

Its pretty good looking. Not so crazy about the tailights on the sedan though. Just the part that wraps around the side of the car looks a bit strange.

It's about time they started bringing the goods here from europe...for years the fords have looked wayyyy better over there...

car looks great and the interior is very nice for a car in this segment.

[Captain Slow]

That Focus does look rather nice, but I still would want a European market 2 door Fiesta Hatch. I'll take mine with the 1.6 Diesel, thank you. And the cup holders are big enough to store a hand grenade

[MinisterofDOOM]

YAY! No more eleven year old outdated cheapo design!

I like it, although I'm not a big fan of the rear of the sedan.

[IanS]

Wow, I really like that. I think the interior is a bit too busy, but still. There is a reason Ford is stomping the crap out of the other 2/3s of the big three.

I was about to say "you silly idiot, we're just about to get that car", but then I thought about it for a minute, checked, and you're RIGHT. We don't get the 2-door hatch, only the 4-door.

THIS INJUSTICE MUST BE RIGHTED. You can keep that diesel though....I'll pass on that.

[car nut]

I'll take the diesel. Gotta love gobs of torque and 40+mpg! Makes a great daily.

[seyath]

Now that is one good looking car. About time Ford decided to update the Focus. Now if only they get their head out of their a** and bring the RS here too...

My thoughts EXACTLY.....

Bring on the RS!

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

I like it all except for those wings coming off the tailights pointing towards the front of the car. If they were cut off at that body line there I'd be happy.

[flohtingPoint]

And assuming they make good on their promise and deliver a diesel model, that will be my daily driver.

[2the40]

I really don't mind this car at all, in fact I think it's probably gonna be a great car for the price.

That being said.. I'm not crazy about the 5 door design, but that's just me.

[Ace2cool]

hate the tail lights.

+1

They're too bulgy. Front kinda looks Evo-ish. Looks like a bunch of non-Ford cars mixed into one. Interior is VERY nice though.

[Mr1der]

I'm here to say they need to bring the Volvo T5 powered RS here now.

this little booger is a beast.

[Dattebayo]

It looks like the G6 to me. All except for the rear lights.

[skydragoness]

Really liking the hatch. I wonder what the visibility is like out of the rear window though..

[Mr1der]

here's a nice review to read....just in case you know...it makes it here.

[Ace2cool]

There are very, very few FWD cars that I would drive and enjoy doing so, but the RS seems to be one.

[marlin29311]

Yayyyyyyyyyyy focus!

I love the little bugger - fun cars to drive.
