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

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.

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.

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!!!

We've been making fun of its styling for years.

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!

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.
