    New Focus revealed

    New focus has been revealed by auto express. If this is the real thing then I am very impressed looks great and still carry's the look of the mark II Focus.
    If this is just the normal model then the ST model will look incredible. Can't wait.

    Probably should have said, this is the European focus (real one) not the NA one.

    Ahh i was just about to ask. This is too much, damn car companies for giving us crap while Europe gets all the decent models. Like i say, then they wonder why sales suffer, because the best look models coming out here are from Hyundai, the new Lancer and Outlander are looking good, and unless we start getting nicer models from the Americans they'll suffer some more.

    Being Auto Express, I'm skeptical. I guess I'll wait and see.

    Looks very nice.

    I see some similarities between it and the new Mondeo...

    I'm going to do a "Clarkson" and suggest that if the new Focus looks like that I'll eat my own hair. That image is just a mix-match of old Focus and new Mondeo.

    However, even though they've tried (too hard) to make it look sleek and sporty, it still manages not to look as good as other cars already existing in the market (C4, Leon, Astra etc.). The slashes, spoilers and angles can't disguise the obvious bulk.

    It's not the best or the worst looking car ever, but at least id doesn't have the rice lights Ford's so fond of putting on Fusions and the upcoming Focus here. I just wish we'd gotten the Euro Mk.II Foci over here.

    It's very 2008 Impreza at the rear and very very Mondeo round front, I like it, I see Ford have also facelifted the current Focus already...

    No you don't. I've just had a 3-week test drive. It's rubbish. Review coming soon.

    That looks pretty good. It does look like a chop, but if it turns out to be real it'd be nice. Then again it's not for us either, so I don't see what I'm so excited about. Like the others have said, I see a lot of Impreza in it and Mondeo headlights.

    On a side note, how do you put a link like that under another name? Links look ugly.
