Name this weird ford

[Begbie]

Don't get saloon focus's, buy a MONDEO!

Ahh, they really annoy me!

 

[Justintime]

I get indigestion everytime i see a booted polo, Focus, Cordoba, Clio etc.. just looks soooo wrong. Driven by people who either have bad taste or see cars as appliances.

It's not as if the hatchback variants are works of art though is it?

How about the Clio Estate then Justintime. One round here that just confuses the hell out of my eyes when I see it.

Seems an odd car really, however sometimes the the "smaller" car that a manufacturer offers can be bigger than a bigger car they offer

Such as when?

My parents megane estate has more boot space than a laguna estate.

No but at least they look reasonable and in proportion, boot looks stuck on and breaks the flow.

lol weird, not sure if i've ever seen it in the flesh!

The US doesn't even get the new model of Focus :/

They'll get the next one seeing as ford have switched to the 1 car for all regions model.

I disagree, the saloon models often look better than the hatchbacks, in my eyes, but then I really don't like cars where there is ''no more car'' behind the rear wheels, I like the 3 box saloon shape .

The Laguna probably has more leg rooom.

 

[BigDannyO]

I know it's only a p-chop, but if they made a Focus like this I wouldn't say no:

 

[ajstan]

Yh that looks good actually

 

[Sanchez]

It's nasty but looks better than the UK saloon Focus!

 

[sh4dy1981]

Looks about as cool as a fiat multipla lol

 

[Janesy B]

The MK2 Focus saloon looks quite tidy, as does the estate. the MK1 Focus looks a dog in anything other than hatchback format.

Saloons only tend to look better if they are designed to be a saloon, the ones which are the saloon version of hatchbacks look pretty awful in general.

 

[ajstan]

Mk1 focus didn't look that bad in estate format?

 

[r3loaded]

I'm confused as to why the owner decided importing a US spec focus saloon was a good idea? Why not just buy the standard UK model if he's so desperate for a Focus saloon?

And I don't understand this odd interest in small saloon cars outside of Europe either - if you want a big car, get a saloon, if you want a small car, get a hatchback!

I don't think we agree on a lot, but I totally agree with you on this.

I don't think that Focus looks 'too' bad, better than the hatchback anyway. I feel the front bumper looks like someone pulled it of a Falcon and squashed it down and bolted it onto the Focus though ...looks a tad disjointed.
