Thanks to Z63R for covering the event for us!

**FocusSportVP** · 05-18-2008, 02:32 PM

Nice! Thanks for posting the pics Ron!

We had a great time and look forward to working with Ford again in the future. Thanks again to all who attended, it was great to see all of you.

**jayrod16** · 05-18-2008, 02:34 PM

Looks Great! Can you guys list the MAIN differences in the 08 to 09? They look pretty similar except for the exterior add ons?

**ridindirtyzx3** · 05-18-2008, 02:39 PM

that looks like it was fun. i was wandering what all the differences are too... anything besides the obvious exterior changes? it looks really good

**Z63R** · 05-18-2008, 02:52 PM

Thanks for mentioning my name, sir, however, since viewing pics posted by [FJ] user blackbird (here) and Mark Lapp (here), I feel I fail in comparison. I also tied up Todd's card reader for far too long while attemtping to cull and download, then upload all my pics. I was leading my own Fail Parade yesterday, and am glad it's over. Plus, it was damn hot.

All in all, though, I am glad to have been a part of [FJ]focaljet coverage. If there's a "next time" I should be a bit more efficient in the upload process and especially once I learn what a .zip file is and how to send one.

I was honored to meet Mr. De La Garza of Ford and also the young woman who produced the Street Tuner Challenge televsion coverage of FocusSport's pwnage, Megan Waters. The food was great! and I was able to see many of my [FJ]focaljet friends of the last four years. It's always fun to hang out on these few Saturdays per year at FocusSport; the entire staff are all great people.

I must admit, I am not only getting used to this latest Focus model's styling, I'm actually liking it due in no small part to FocusSport's influence and the open ears of Ford Motor Company.

Ron, Todd, Randy.......any possibility that Ford will have the 09 available for public viewing at FOTB 08?

**hEaT** · 05-18-2008, 04:31 PM

Mmmm those seats look nice. Nice change from the 08 model.

**focuspl99** · 05-18-2008, 04:33 PM

^^ my thoughts exactly....more interior/seat pics pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!

Those are the same seats available in the 08.

I have them...

**SVTF04CHS** · 05-18-2008, 05:22 PM

i see some SVT-ish ressemblence on the front bumper...looks good!

**Focusfre4k** · 05-18-2008, 05:30 PM

mmmm sexy!!!!

**2focusd** · 05-18-2008, 05:31 PM

Justin, do you happen to know how much extra the leather interior and/or moonroof options were on your '08?

**bustonit** · 05-18-2008, 05:33 PM

Those pics look much better than any other I have seen. Now that's something I could get excited about. Looking forward to seing the other factory colors. I may not be able to get one next year, but if I can, I will.

**BUR_ZX3** · 05-18-2008, 05:38 PM

My impressions: aggressive. Its aggressive.

The dark chrome, on the Sangria Red is hot. Its just mothereffing hot. I made up my mind, and I want one.

I see many '08 owners buying the new grilles, new lights, and new wheels. Throw all those on a Sedan an my wife would have taken one right then and there.

I'm really impressed with the message that Sam De La Garza brought. "We hear you, we're listening, and we're working to make you happy."

I also liked the future message. "Look to Europe.... but please be willing to pay for it."

AKA, we're doing the Euro thing cuz you want it, but you'd better be willing to pay the $22-25k for it.

Great! I think Ford is stepping up!!! do very many of us have the money to dish out on a euro focus? nah! but we want it here anyway!

^^ Hey, that's the plan if I get an 08 or 09...slap the parts from the 09 coupe onto a sedan.

It is great to see such enthusiasm. Let's take this as an overall good sign of things to come.

**biscuitninja** · 05-18-2008, 06:35 PM

I plan to get an '08 sedan with all the fun stuff. And once FS comes up with a turbo kit... its going on in short order! Now I need to get to work on the suspension.

I'll definately be getting the headlights and grille from the 09 for my 08.

**alucardsvt** · 05-18-2008, 07:17 PM

dont realy see any difference from the ones that are out not except for that roof mounted spoiler and the front bumper.......

**BUR_ZX3** · 05-18-2008, 07:21 PM

The chrome is a dark chrome... which, in all honesty, makes a BIG difference for me.

**bustonit** · 05-18-2008, 07:23 PM

This car is begging for a 2 tone paint scheme. Just follow the body lines. Wish I could shop
