I beg to differ. The flow of the body lines are still present. The hood shape, the grill shape, etc. that are part of the soul of the original Focus. Which is why the second picture of my last post (#44)works so much better, it helps maintain the original shape of the grill, which Ford evolved out in the recent design. Though my version of the headlights seem to be a drastic change I think it's a nice fresh face to an ever evolving car and would probably be accepted by consumers w/o many complaints... mostly the purists would be the ones complaining.

The headlights, IMO and many others, were always just a wee bit over the top. Many people were buying the "Integra" style lights, eye lids, or popping open the lenses and painting the chrome for this very reason. Though the sales of the Focus might prove otherwise, there is nothing wrong with a drastic change like this on the exterior. The majority of the soul of the Focus lies in the suspension anyway, and I'm glad they haven't touched that.
