Odd as it may seem, that focus looks pretty good from the side.
There is still hope for the "Mod Squad" It'll be interesting to see what is done to the Focus to make it more appealing to us "car freaks"
No mater how fast the make the new Focus it'll still be fugly. But I'd be highly interested in picking up a used V6 Fusion and slapping a turbo on. Mazdaspeed6 who?
The new car has lot's of potential...and I think it's going to do well, in terms of sales, and aftermarket. The underpinnings are there of the older ones, so they've really only got to R&D interior stuff (though this isn't needed), and exterior stuff...

They also look better in the flesh too, especially in pitchblack...
Geez, don't those wheels look familiar?! :rolleyes:

"Play it again, Sam."
XR6 any one?
