Personally, I'm starting to think that the Focus is just Ford's long-running marketing experiment to see how many of a model's desirable features they can strip away before people stop buying it.

i was seriously hoping the new coupe was going to be a sexy lil car...unfortunetally it's an abomination of the Focus name exterior looks wise.
I don't care how much better this car performs and how great that duratec engine is...ppl don't see that kind of thing when they just notice your car on the street...they see something ugly.
and I don't want a GTI i want a Focus, I shouldn't be forced to go to another brand of car manufacturer just b/c they offer something that Ford
does but
won't sell us.
I may be resilient to change and being nostalgic as well, but call me crazy, I <3 the 00-04 style b/c it was edgy, it was away from the norm, it didn't have the same lines as every other car on teh market and it sure as hell didn't appear to be an old lady's saturn remake
I'm sorry but I'll be sticking to the 00-04 used cars and then dipping into the 05 redesign because even that body style has more flair and edgyness to it then this piece.
I'm seriously at a loss for words really tho about how much i'm dissappointed in the '08 body styling, performance might be up to par, and the interior is nice but i could do w/o the mood lighting LEDs or that fancy SYNC that I'd probably never even bother using if they offered something with more an eye catching body style that was completely stripped.
The way the aftermarket is for the 05 redesign front end I can only imagine how much more miniscule teh aftermarket will become for the 08 styling...I'm gonna feel bad for those ppl who will want to mod them..
anyway, I digress and I'll go my way being nostalgic in the Rigz gallery......
