I reckon this new Focus is more impressive to look at than the new Fiesta was when it was released two years ago. Guess how many people agree with me on that one? Zero. None. Zip.
Seems people love the Fiesta's styling more than me, and love this new Focus's looks a bit less. But I'm sticking to it anyway - this is a very neat, low, sleek-looking car in five-door form which makes a Golf look about as interesting as gravel.
And the new Focus wagon debuts at this show too - again, a smooth, simple, good-looking estate that is very obviously mini-Mondeo in theme and none the worse for it.
This new Focus is a global car and its platform will form the basis for 10 separate models, including an upcoming three-door performance version for Europe and America. Despite numerous appearances in movies and video games, it will be the first time the Yanks have had a hot Focus and a small ripple of applause broke out at the technical presentation as a result.
Demand for a proper showing of the car early has been driven by the American market, too - we won't see this car for another year. But when it comes, expect it to go straight to the top of the class. Anything less won't be good enough for Ford.

I agree with u so thats 2 people i think this car looks more interesting especially those taillights. However the yellow does nothing for me it should be in either black silver or white or that weird ford chrome blue

looks like a hyundi at the back and has the front end off a fiesta and a hint of SEAT and SKODA. the back looks too much like small suv thing. it would be useless where i stay ("SCOTLAND" Whoo ) u would look like a complete turd. i would rather have a golf gti it looks mean and dirty. the ford is too soft and cheery. just your usual ford

They couldn't have made it more Citroen C4 could they. Ford, get your own ideas.

at least its not ugly look at the new golf its horrifically ugly, and there is more equipment on a horse than a bog standard golf which is the popular choice for the typical golf driver, the focus shows a bit of taste and has a bit more style and flair than a golf. This car looks great it looks as if its actually moving or something its hard to describe but its nice. Overall a good car but its no peugeot 406 executive
