its horrid and confirms what i thought that ford are going for looks and design rather than quality the astra wheels dont work it looks like a kuga fiesta and bits of a kia moulded together by a designer who did it for a jolk simply i hate it and the mk1 will go down in ford history as there best looking foci they ever built t he original mk1 with indicators in the bumper.

would i spend my money on it nope dont like it one bit im sure someone will but definately not me the colour is ghastly

I like the colour and the seats other than that i think its absoutly f ugly the grill is bloodey crap aswell looks like a fish opening its mouth

not sure what i dislike more. the grill or the the dash.. but i am interested to know if the rumours about them dropping the 3 door due to crap sales and adding a estate option. at least on the estate they will hopefully ditch those back lights
we will have to wait and see... wonder what the totally new engine will be like.
still.. bet it will still go like stink

is it a mazda? .. not my cup of tea

anyone seen the new fiesta suv?

overall i dont mind it, although, i dont like the grille, the colour is like something that my daughter fills her nappy with, and the rear light clusters are horrid

Apart fromthat well done ford

why are car manufacturers making there cars look like stupid faces, this one remind me of some sort of fish and the arse end of it looks like a chav

[size="4"]Fookin hell what have they done
How is that a step up from the supposed drab MK2 facelift?? the model thats out now is the best looking yet i think. The St out now is a head turner for sure but know one is going to look twice at that yellow KIA.
compare:[/size]

It look like a cheap Kia. It will bomb without a doubt.

I dont think itl flop itl be an improvement over the mk2 dynamically but jesus wept it rele is f*** ugly i reckon once ur sat in it driving along itl be ok i like the revised dash and the kit levels should be pretty impressive aswell but would i buy one hell no il keep hunting out the few descent mk1's there are out there or buy a mondeo or fiesta or anything bloodey else including a kia.

Ford your a descent heartless corporation give us all a bit of a reward make a nice looking car like the escort cossies of old and the gt40's this kinetic design stuff is crap the fiesta is nice the new mondeo isnt that nice, s-max isnt bad and the galaxy the ka is a nock of the fiat 500 and now there killing the focus.

Thats probably wound a few people up but if this is the future of ford im sorry but yeah .. *walks outside and prizes the ford badges of his focus

yeh but the thing is if there is more kit and gadgets on it then the price will be higher. Therefore people will just end up going for the better badge and car with the AUDI A3 or BMW 1 series like whats happened with the MONDEO losing all its customers to the BMW 3 Series/Audi A4.
The new Focus looks so cheap the picture in that disgusting yellow gold is making me feel sick
