Honestly, i think it's the most hideous saloon i've ever seen

Don't think any of the other manufacturers will be too worried

Thats a hatch back ! Its as if they threw a Mazda 6 , Laguna and a IS220 in a melting pot and came up with this. Don't think i'll be rushing out to buy one.

It's a stretched out focus..can nobody else see...

The garages won't ask what model you want anymore..it'll just be ''do you want a small, medium or large car'' because they all look the same, and have the same wheels more or less...


Ohhh, it's a honda accord that's crashed into a focus..thus making a new car

Looks nice from the front, side odd looks odd and rear looks like a Saab/Laguna.

Another reason to buy Jap/German

I'm suprised by the amount of people that don't like it... I love it, and it's got a brilliant reception from the press, in stark contrast to the Focus Mk2

Wheels are a bit pants and look too small on the car. It's not too bad though. There are worse cars out there.

Looks shit imo. Ford are completely fookin useless at designing cars now and need the Volvo influence for both styling and engines. We're never EVER gonna see a nice looking ford let alone an RS that we'd buy. Sadly Ford has fucked us all off in favour of the company fleet car buyers and have totally forgot what cars made them more desirable and famous in the first place!!!!

The last of the desirable Ford imo was the last Mondeo ST220 / TDci. Imagine how many they would have sold of them if they were 4wd 300+BHP Cosworth powered.....the new saff for the millenium.

Never mind though eh
