'08 Focus as ugly as sin

Does'nt look to much different to the new Mondeo really.

I think its alright.

It looks meh and if its anything like the model it is 'replacing' it will yawn inducing to drive (based on a test drive of the 1.6 Zetec climate I drive)

Its one of the best cars in its class for ride and handling :confused:

Looks ok tbh.

Looks like the current focus to me but with over accentuated head lights, in fact the head lights remind me of the old or is it current Laguna.

Definitely going in the right direction.

Spent some time in the Facelifted C-max recently - the front end on that is in line with the focus facelift. It's much improved and looks a lot better.

Very nice. Shame its not as radical as the 1998 Mk1 Focus when it came out or the new Mondeo

Looks like Ford are catching up with the Germans in terms of build quality, just a shame their engine arnt

Not bad, hopefully it'll drive MK1 Focus prices even lower so I can grab that for my first car

US version looks a bit off though

Looks average, not horrific, nothing special.

Eww.

I was never that keen on the Mk2 - looks like it had a collision with the front end of a new Mondeo. Mk1 - fantastic. Edgy, cohesive shape, slightly improved with the faceliift.

I blame the pedestrian collision stuff - cars just don't look right with bulbous high noses on them. The rot started with the Pug 407 and hasn't abated.
