Doesn't do it for me...

Rear bumper reminds me too much of the newer Neon tails, the headlights are just too too, and if I wanted all that chrome on the front I'd by a Dodge whatever. And what's with those huge, square foglights? Stainless dash is a great distraction when driving, not to mention an in-your-face heatsink for us desert dwellers. Overall, the design will blend in with most other traffic instead of standing out.

Personally, I prefer a car where the interior and exterior flow together with simple but aggressive styling queues and compatible materials. That's what attracted me to my '02 SVTF. With such nicely designed counterparts like the RS and ST, why should we have to settle for something so vanilla?

And since everybody and their brother is now driving a Mustang, I've lost my appetite to pick one of those up as well. Looks like I'll just hang on to my Focus and enjoy driving it for as long as I can make it last.
