Ford Focus Coupe (2009)

[Street_Dreamer]

This car, having read the press release, is just poor.
It may be selling well, but i don't see what there is to get excited about.
It looks like crap
It only gets 35mpg (my mum gets 31 in a Q7) (though i'd like to know emissions, cos they actually sound low)
It's bragging about a 4spd Auto and 5spd Manual, where most cars of this size with "sport" intentions have 6spd manuals, but it's not that which is bothering me, it's the 4spd Auto. That's half the cogs a Lexus LS has.

Oh Focus, what have they done to you? This was one of the coolest small cars available in the US for a long time, certainly the best from a US manufacturer... I'm glad I've still got my '03.

Yay, Ford Motor Company doesn't care about people in their own country!

And they wonder why they're doing so badly in this market...

[Coventrysucks]

I don't get why the Euro-Focus isn't shared in the US-Market

"MSRP that starts at $15,920", Euro-Focus is that same number in Euros.

That is no excuse for making it look like one of those Chinese rip-offs of a crap mid-90s Korean car though.

It still looks like crap.

Who cares ... as long as we get this one ....

I woudl suggest the US version is further evidence of the US-industry obsession with using focus groups to design cars instead of creative designers

Believe me, you're not the first.

I would suggest the Euro Focus Mk.2.5 puts a hole below the waterline of your "creative designers" theory.

Wow.... It's hideous.
