2008 Ford Focus: Ugly is as Ugly does
Y'know, the Focus was pretty sweet when the VW designers handed it to Ford. But every change Ford has wrought since then has made this car uglier and uglier. Take a look at this new pic of the 2008 model. Is that not one ugly, misguided, confused front end? What in the world do they think they're doing???

Is not that bad looking...
However I liked the original more when it came out. It had that "design shift" feeling. This one feels like a small 500, doesn't it? |

You mean you guys in the US don't have that Focus??? how gay is Ford? That car is hot, I would almost have gotten one if the so-called "sport" model here had a manual transmission...
Gee and here I thought you guys had all the cool cars...

the Ford Foucs RS ( PALLYE SPORT)in Europe is AWSOME, not the one in the US, US always get Carppy models, features and options, i hate this part about the US
Check out the 2006 Ford Foucs WRC , the same look as 2008, it is not Ford is gay, it is the Americans are gay i will say. |

I like the Euro Focus, we have that in the Philippines too.. I dont know though if it has the Mazda3 Engine in there though.... If it does I'll buy it and just strip the "FORD" logos and the Focus name and just change it to WRC or something for rallies.

I think that pic of the new Focus is a great example of "fresh-for-1991" styling.

I liked the look of the Focus in the late 90s/ early 00s, but it's defintely a design that needed some updating. This, however, isn't a great shift, imo. It looks like their trying to use a bit of the design language of the Fusion, which in theory sounds okay, as I think the Fusion is a decent looking mid-size, but this just looks kinda jumbled to me.

Look mum no stars!!

I like it in a way..........
But then again it doesnt look like it should be a 2008 model, the boxyness turns me off
