Default 2009 Ford focus MK3 - Absolutely stunning,

During late 2009 (around September), Ford should launch a brand new Ford Focus - the MK3. Martin Smith who has recently designed Ford's most exiting new vehicles, namely the S-MAX, Galaxy and the new Mondeo - is leading the project.

The project of the design has apparently already started.

Here our a few possible designs for the MK3;

looks a bit 335 to me, the first pic anyway if it was a saloon and had a longer boot

Dunno not overly impressed, the rear doors back just looks all wrong.

looks just like any other "new car", ie bit like a civic, 1 series, seat leon, golf etc - Boring, not original and nothing inspiring in the design at all IMHO, and the wheels look horrid.....Why do all the new cars have to have arses like jo brand?

That sums up exactly why Ford are now boring, shite and an utter waste of fucking space!

How the FUCK are those vehicles exciting? Oh, and that Mk3 Focus is as shite as the last one!

I quite like the mk2 focus and the s-max, the next generation c-max looks good aswell from what i have seen. have to agree though that everything else in the range is certianly an aquired taste.
