he was just saying that in reference to when ken said it looked like a mutant volvo, meaning that the volvos design is 'less orginal'.

i think it looks plenty original, i cant really think of a hatch that looks like it that exists currently.

we are a wretched group at times eh? considering how closely the fit looks like an aveo without the sport add ons.....

just calling it how i see it guys. its not like we are driving alpha romeos. i think it looks great.

 

OIC!! I took the comment in a different way. I retract my previous post.

BTW I think it looks pretty original myself

 

wow you are polite! good to know it still exists on this forum ;)

 

Thank you I try to treat others as I would want to be treated

 

Niiice...now thats a Ford I'd buy.

 

yeah i wouldn't say it doesn't take cues from other vehicles but it is a unique package IMO....

i like it alot!

 

the looks like borrowed between nissan gtr and a mitsubishi lancer.

 

i never thought a ford would give me a boner. sucks its not awd but whatever.

 

I kind of prefer the original Ford Focus RS over this gen2 model...that one looked much cleaner.

Gen2 is supposedly better to drive, though. People whined about the gen1's overly aggressive Quaife LSD.

 

There isn't anything to dislike about this car that I can see from a functional point of view..... I really like the the engineering on the drive train components and the well researched aerodynamics..... The styling is true form following function, which is something that isn't appreciated enough outside of Europe.

 

Too many people mistake European Ford quality for American Ford quality... Ford is orignally an American company but... it's quality vehicles come from elsewhere... Europe...

holy giant post batman...

the car is a step in the right direction for Ford. AWD would be killer. I'd like to see what price point they are going to go for.
