Default Re: Official 2008 Ford Focus Pics and Information!

Overall, I like the exterior and think Ford did a great job on the interior.

I'm perplexed as to why the studio added so many "shapes" to the front end. I'm not a fan of the hard character line on the bumper in front of the lamps. I'm also wondering why the diamond pattern grille, under the main grille? Fog lamps are extremely squared, however there is nothing on the front end that is square. Headlamps remind me of the new Suzuki XL7. From a true front view, I dig the front. From a 3/4 view those character lines pop and I'm just confused.

SV profile is awesome. I dig the little grille in the fender and the character line that runs from the fender to the quarter panel.

RV, I've NEVER been a fan of any Focus sedan rear end. This model doesn't change my mind. Lamps are a bit too small and I don't like how Ford is showing so much chrome in their lamps. They need to work on LED lamps!

Interior is just bad ass. I also dig the ambient lighting package option. Interior lighting makes a car so damn cool. One of the major things I love about the Mustang is the ability to control the color of the cluster by a switch. Major coolness!

Overall, a set of aggressive 18"s and a small drop would make this a pretty damn looking car!

For most people on here that don't like it... you're never going to like a Focus unless it's direct from Europe. If this car was a European model, you'd all be screaming at Ford to bring it here
