The company I work for makes you drive a hire car rather than your own when you work away. Normally I get something crappy like a Peugot 308 but this time I've got a brand new 09 focus for the rest of the week. I live in england so it's the proper new focus, not the US one that still has the old chassis. Look how awesome they look (http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/Focus/Exteriordesign). I'm well excited. I'll report back on how undoubtedly awesome it is to drive.

I'll buy you a pint [cheers]... if you let me drive it that is haha
I was a bit unsure when talks of re-design got traction in 07 but man do they look great! Still sporty and aggressive with a big touch of Volvo class! Def. let us know how it drives & which engine/body combo they give u [thumb]

Gave me 2 litre petrol zetec. Not an RS or an ST but I'm sure it'll still be nice. I'll take some proper pics tomorrow when the sun comes up. Same colour as my focus but makes mine look all dreary and old :(
