Replying to: creakid1 (Jun 24, 2007 10:21 am) The European Focus is getting a restyling. It will look like the new Mondeo:   http://auto-future.blogspot.com/2007/07/ford-focus-restyling.html

Ford slightly refreshed the Focus from its look at the Auto Show this past January - slightly better, IMO   http://media.ford.com/products/presskit_display.cfm?vehicle_id=1532&press_subsection_id=421&make_id=92   new:     new "old":

Replying to: dj2big (Jul 04, 2007 4:37 pm) "FORD FOCUS 2008 IS A 2007 IN MEXICO!!!"   No, it's not. Our '08 looks embarrassingly ugly. I don't want to be seen in one.   & I'd rather get our '07 ST w/ the big 2.3 (no turbo, please), which no one else gets:   http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/focus/features/specs/   http://www.gulfcoastnews.com/RT2005FordFocus.htm   The newer "foreign" Focus, which is what Mexico also gets today from Europe, w/ a too-wide body is somehow less handsome by comparison:   http://www.ford.com.mx/vehicles/vehicles.asp?idModel=FOC   Eventhough its very first sedan was mass produced w/ a pretty face in Taiwan since 2005:   http://roadtest.u-car.com.tw/roadtest-detail.asp?rid=61   & for similar price as our Focus, Mexico only gets the low-tech-suspension Fiesta instead:   http://www.ford.com.mx/vehicles/vehicles.asp?idModel=FIS   Mexico did get the older Focus from Europe briefly about a year ago. & I think it's pretty cool (No full-size bulky width, please).

Replying to: creakid1 (Jul 04, 2007 8:10 pm) Oh dear God. What did they do to the poor Focus? Yeash. When it came out in the States in 2000, it was "different" but very good looking and fresh in my opinion (hell we owned two of them at one point). But the first refresh dulled it down (especially in the interior) and now this refresh is just an abomination. Ugh. Looks like some sort rejected Saturn design. Ford, what have you done???

Replying to: seminole_kev (Jul 07, 2007 7:05 pm) I guess Ford is hoping to break into that lucrative rental fleet market. Replies to this message: creakid1 (Sep 01, 2007 8:11 pm)

Replying to: hwyhobo (Aug 31, 2007 7:12 pm) rental fleet market?   Do you have to gross people out in order to rent 'em out safely so people will return the car afterward, & won't decide to (steal) keep the car forever?   North America Ford, are you proud of looking like the Malibu/Impala/Stratus family? Can't you just leave these European designs alone? You already got Mazda to convert the engine bay into the most reliable "European car", & success/reputation is coming soon. No more night-mare repairs the way the Merkur XR4ti/Scorpio were.

Replying to: jedi787plus (Sep 25, 2006 6:19 am) I don't know maybe I am reading to much into the bad mouthing of a cheap nice car that works I own a 2005 and the car is sound and not one bit a problem except for breaking the center console once, if that is a major problem I guess I just over looked it. Ok it is a face life but I do believe it will compete well since they stats on MPG for the 2008 Ford Focus should be 27 city / 37 highway and the last time I checked the Honda Fit 28 city / 34 highway, I say is is pretty damn close. On top of the fact the Focus does have more room. As far as price you can get one out the door if you know how to deal for $13,900. Beside the face lift they did add a ton of interior toys that you normally don't get with a cheap car. The car is cheap and good all around and I will buy I new one. My reason for the great review is because when a car can get you from point a to b without a problem for several years, that is a good car and I abuse my car and it took ever bit of it, except for that center console. Wow and that center console problem was so major considering Ford fixes it for free while under warranty. Replies to this message: aladdinsane (Sep 29, 2007 12:29 am)

Replying to: klx74 (Sep 28, 2007 12:57 pm) Amen, klx74!   I agree!   This new(?) Focus will sell well...Whether it's superior to the Civic, or even the new Corolla (due next year) is debatable, but it WILL sell! I just wish Ford had kept the 5dr and added ESC to its safety features. Oh well...   Peace!<- <-AladdinSane--

Faux vents are ugly.
