SHIT!! Why they did this???
They ruined the focus. Look at this now, looks soo dull.

It wasn't THAT great looking to begin with.

I think the interior is an improvement and the exterior is a step backwards. It's getting chubby in it's old age and looks like it has an even fatter arse* than the old shape.

* but not as fat as the Renault Meganes Arse...

I agree, but why do you say it looks German??????

German hatches dont look like that. That new focus, looks more like a Honda/toyota/megane and what not....

No, but was a lot different and distinct.

I second Stikz argument here. The 4 door looks like a wanna-be citroen. Let's see how the WRC version comes out like. It has potential methinks.

It's not about the shape compared to the other hatches. It's about the execution of the design. It's about the logic. It's clean, all clean, no fuss, no nonsense. The flanks are flat, lights are just big enough, not too big, not too small. It's like putting Mondeo and Fiesta together. And you all know how boring they look. If you ask me, I'd say Ford is trying to pull a VW. Even look at the instruments, it could have easily come from any of the VW cars. I say all logic, no fun...at least in the looks.

By the way Ford Europe is a German company. It used to be British, but not anymore

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, it's losing personality.

i like it, IMO look better than the current one..

In metal maybe yes... :roll:

You took the words right out of my mouth :)
The interior has improved..That's nice.

still mondeo style

I agree. The new Focus is not so interesting as the old one. I hope the new saloon will be better because Ford showed a nice concept version some months ago.

i agree it was ugly before and after kinda got the Seat Leon look
