I didnīt like it, same crap as C-Max.
Anyway, enjoy!
The booty got a little big, but I like the taillights.
BooYaa 05-05-2004, 11:02 AM Too bad its not coming to the US.[:(]
l88m22vette 05-05-2004, 11:18 AM yuck! It looks like the new Golf, only shittier! Why did a car with good styling and presence turn into another Ford boringmobile?
ltdeckard 05-05-2004, 11:45 AM The front end it horrible...
<SVT/ 05-05-2004, 11:57 AM I think it looks very cool!!!!

Are you sure about that? There's a new Golf sitting directly next to the Focus on the right side in those pictures, the rear end looks nothing alike on the two. Frankly I think I like the rear end treatment on the new Golf better than the Focus. But it's a moot point since the Euro-designed Focus is not coming here to the U.S., and the new Golf won't until sometime next year...
vanace 05-05-2004, 12:34 PM I bet it will come to the us in a couple of years. Yuck
The butts are bigger!!!!! I like big butts and I cannot lie, the others can't deny....................[offtopic]
I kinda like 'em.
Vassili95 05-05-2004, 12:40 PM Yeah and that's with the Euro bumper set at 2.5 mph protection.......they will have to increase the rear bumper size.....making it really ugly....IMO
Rather drive the Astra then........
Peace..........
FucusUnderground 05-05-2004, 12:45 PM Soon this site is going to be OldFocusFanatics...I HATE the new disigns. HATE them. Ford seems to have a problem fixing things that aren't broken.
Focus ZX5 05-05-2004, 01:10 PM Quite honestly i really like the front end of that sedan. It is so different from the north american model: fenders, hood, headlights; look at the area between the fenders and the hood, it's so buffed up, it gives it an aggressive style. The turn signals are sexy/discreet compared to our very very large turn sigs.
I like the rear of the hatchback, almost looks like a Volvo with those rectangular taillights.
The interior is really nice too, dash and guages are different.
Unfortunately the suits at Ford aren't getting the message that we like the european style of the focus; it's been like that since its introduction.

Nickelson 05-05-2004, 03:03 PM welcome to uncreative engineers only concerned with making the cheapest possible solution to a new body style.
Nickelson 05-05-2004, 03:04 PM Hey, let's make it 1/2 plastic just like the Chevy Avalanche! That way it's even cheaper to produce!

if they used the same body style here and in Europe, they would be saving quite a lot of money.
FucusUnderground 05-05-2004, 03:58 PM I'm quite sure the laws are different, i.e. impact ratings and the like. That would be like us tearing a$$ down the freeway and justifying it by saying "they do it on the Autobhan!"
And hey, while we're at it, why no right side steering conversions?
LOL. Euro is overrated.
And the new Focus looks like the old style and a VW had a lovechild. [?|]
fast5 05-05-2004, 04:00 PM at least its got 5 lug wheels!!!!!!!!! lol
guerro 05-05-2004, 04:03 PM Looks a lot like the Volvo that it shares its platform with. Interesting.
staticprevails4 05-05-2004, 04:11 PM i agree with guerro on the volvo thing. thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pics. I say Europe can keep it and I'll keep mine.

I know the laws are different and that means structural body components would be different.
But when it comes to body style, they could easily produce the same headlights, buffed up hood...etc. and that would be cost efficient.
After all, that's what we moders are doing: converting body styles.
get it?[rolleyes]
