I really don't like the look of this, such a shame. Maybe it will look better in the flesh.

I think it looks better than the standard Focus that they're bringing out, but there's still bits I hate on it.

Plus... no more 5 pot :(

Dunno how many people will chose the baby turd yellow colour there though.
 
i think the front end is more akin to mazza GT, and as such I think its great, maybe sitting a little bit to high at the front I would prefer it to hunker down over the wheels but all in all I like it. :cool:
 
Not a fan of high gloss black plastics in a car, a magnetic for dirt.

So is this yellow the new asbo orange? It looks very Renault.
 
unfortunately I fear this is the future of hot hatches :(

too many toys and made for the masses, less is more when hot hatches are concerned

just look at that interior, too much going on :eek:

no doubt the younger generation will love it but those a little older who remember the proper old school hot hatches of the 80s and 90s will just look and think what could have been
 
The more toys on a hot hatch the better I say. More often then not your spending a premium price on it, so why would you want less options or toys than the povety spec car of the same line?

Why wouldn't they do a 3 door? That cant be right

I dunno autocar aren't exactly the best, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt. I'm sure earlier reports were that Ford were focusing on the 5 door version first, and 3 door was coming further down the line.
 
I can see why they wouldn't bother with a three door. Three door cars are annoying, and increase production cost.

There is more chance of someone not buying one because it doesn't have enough doors than someone not buying one because it has too many.
