nie design (rare these days IMO), young, sportiv, cool

cooperluke 11-22-2005 07:28 AM

It's cool, although I don't like it in orange. The tradicional blue would fit much better. :D

AlienDB7 11-22-2005 07:49 AM

I wish they sell the new euro version of the Focus here in North America. Given Ford's current financial condition, doubt that'll happen anytime soon :| The "revised" version here sucks, the interior is boring and the driving feel isnt that good.

Either way, the Focus ST is cool. I agree with cooperluke, it would look better in blue.

Cool, but not that much... :bah:

Its definatly cool! and it does coming in blue which is a good idea because orange would just get abit annoying after awhile. Also channel 4 website has a video review of the new focus st. I think it one of the first videos out of it.

Cool

chest3r 11-22-2005 04:48 PM

Uncool!!

The previous model of the Focus looked much better. This ST version looks better than the normal model but it isn't much good anyway.

The engine is too big for the type of car and it should have much more power.

Golf GTi is still the king!!! :P

uncool.. I never understood why the British like the focus frankly..
We've been making fun of its styling for years.

frozzu 11-23-2005 04:29 AM

I like that car very much. I think it's a very nice and beautiful car, great sound, good interior, well I'd buy one. BUT I don't think it's cool. There's nothing cool in seeing you in a focus, nobody other than an enthusiast knows it's something special. You have to tell everyone that it ain't just a focus, that it's special and that's NOT COOL!

mindgam3 11-23-2005 06:54 AM

its a ford focus, therefore uncool :P

No car called the ST can be cool, just no pedigree to it really. Need a proper mental RS please Ford.

And we've been making fun of the styling of american cars since you started making them. British desginers on the whole understand beauty, cars penned by Ian Callum being the most recent excellent example. On the whole American cars with the notable exception of the Corvette are ugly as sin IMO. For a hatch this isn't bad looking, but that isn't what cool is all about.

gucom 11-23-2005 10:45 AM

cool, ive never been a fan of the focus, not cos its a bad car or anything, dunno why really :? well anyway this car is cooler than the standard focus obviously, so my vote is cool :)

Chest3r - My new sig is dedicated to you :P

The Golf GTI is not the king and never was!

All you nay sayers are wrong.. this car is so cool :cry: :x

topgeartom 11-23-2005 11:45 AM

Its a yob in an armani suit.

Cool

gis 11-23-2005 12:15 PM

i voted cool,most fast fords are cool,the focus RS was cool and this follows the RS,it also comes in bright orange which is cool in itself,lol

j703 11-23-2005 01:59 PM

chav / ricers delight = seriously uncool

Fleischmann 11-23-2005 02:00 PM

Uncool, somehow the only hot hatch that get's the thumbs in this criteria is the Golf GTI.

For me the Golf V GTi is still the best hothatch on sale.

If you want to compare this new ST with the previous RS, that's almost the same. The RS looks way better and because it was produced in a limited edition it is very very cool, almost subzero :P If there will be a Focus better than the previous RS won't be in this generation 8)

HeilSvenska 11-23-2005 08:31 PM

It's so cool that it doesn't even have to look like anything! but the RS will be a looooot cooler

raphaelws 12-14-2005 07:03 PM

cool..
I prefer the Fiesta ST.. this one is great!! 8)

crayzayjay 01-04-2006 08:30 PM

Consider the type of people that drive this car.


That's right, it's seriously uncool.

SFDMALEX 01-04-2006 08:32 PM

Seriously uncool......just look at it.

Vansquish 01-13-2006 02:49 AM

If only the RS comes out and has a proper 4wd system...then it would be perfect (well, that and a bit more power...maybe 350bhp+?)

pzgren 01-13-2006 03:44 AM

it's cool, i like what they have done with the car and if you take another color then this orange one i looks nice.

taygunho 11-28-2006 08:36 AM

It is cool for me. It looks good and has a very good sound and it is in top10 in autocars car has best handling list. and one of the best fords in last 10 years.

MC12 11-28-2006 08:41 AM

Hm.. i like this car especially in dark blue the orange definitly stands out from the other cars like a sore thumb :lol:

KJM 212K 10-16-2008 07:37 AM

good car, shame about the image. hopefully, it'll gain respect in the future like the Sierra RS did.
