Ford lost the plot years ago. How can you expect them to come up with something fresh, when all they ever do is to abuse old classic designs, and totally neglect their new models?

As for the VAG connection, did you take a look at the Mondeo next to a '02 facelift Passat? Looks more VAG than the Passat for gods sake. And while ord is busy copying the design language of the 2002 model Passat and A4, Audi has gone BMW and made some, er, interresting and anything but boring changes to their front end.

Line up a new Focus next to a new A3. I hardly think anyone will even notice there are two cars pesent...

It'd be hard to ignore with THIS grill!



Even Audi makes more interesting looking cars than Ford.

In this picture it really looks like the Leon.

It's uglier then before. It's not a hot-hatch anymore like HeilSvenska said. I can't imagine a Focus like this in a RS version...

I agree...ford has gone backwards with the new focus....on the one hand....ford made a big achievement with the design of previous the focus(in fact, 6 years are past since its launch on market, and it still looks modern and attractive)....whereas this once i see quite an ugly car...for example, its nowadays IMO the ugliest car in the class alongside the C4 which means hideous for me

Another thing...the audi grill....for me they are gone backwards also...while they have designed some beautiful shapes such as the current and the former A6, the same story with the A4, A3, A8..they made some mistakes when designing the A2,....and then theyve made another mistake with the new grill which seems that it will be implementated in the future for every audi model

I´m not a Ford fan, but i actually think that it looks better than before esp. on the inside. It was so cheap before and now looks a lot better

I have never liked Ford, their built-quality is no good.

Thanks for the picture of the Audi A3 Sportback

Cheers
