Default Re: Official 2008 Ford Focus Pics and Information!

Wow some of you guys are so quick to be completely negative The new interior looks pretty awesome for the most part, though the radio/climate control setup looks like a nightmare if you'd ever wanna upgrade to aftermarket The grille, well, I hate the blinginess on the Fusion and though this is different (you were right Ron ) I'm still not feeling it. And I'm hating the fact that the two-bar grille line is carried over onto the headlights The rear looks too much like an Aveo/Malibu/Impala for me to immediately fall in love with, plus I haven't thought factory "altezza" tail lights have looked good since the Altezza or Altima. The gills on the side are a blatant Tiburon copy and don't flow at all, so congrats on one-upping Pep Boys there Ford The side profile on the sedan REALLY reminds me of a Saturn L-series or ION as already said by others, and I don't know if that's the youthful approach Ford needs to take here in order to turn things around

Would I buy one? Maybe if there was a decent bit of room in the coupe, something to remedy that grille/headlight combo, and a sporty, lower suspension available in the near future mixed with a good out-the-door price. Though in all honesty I'm much more inclined to go out and find an '05 ZX3 and make a call to F2 for a front bumper and Randy and company for a trip out to Focus Sport to tune/install my turbo kit
