[http://www.leftlanenews.com/2007/01/07/2008-ford-focus-announced/](http://www.leftlanenews.com/2007/01/07/2008-ford-focus-announced/) It looks like a reskin of the current car. Regardless, I think this will be more competitive against the Civic and Corolla than the Cobalt has been. Lets not even mention the Sentra–yuck. ---

i think Ford wants to take the crown from GM for the ugliest cars on the market. that thing is almost as ugly as the Fusion. ---

Interior looks nice…exterior is DISGUSTING. I grew up in a Ford family…I’m doubting when I have kids that they’ll do the same. ---

I think the interior is nice from the pics, but the numbers on the tach and speedo look retarded, perhaps so that they match the exterior. ---

well when the new CEO took over he said he was making big changes, there was a lot said and he said something to the affect of “our styling is very boring, if we are going to do bold styling then not everybody is going to like it but if half of the people hate it and are offended by it and half love it. then it will get people talking about ford again.” i know that is a horrible misquote but the meaning is simaliar. i like the looks on that blue one. give it some power and i would buy one. edit: it better have the blue interior lights… i’ve always wanted blue lights. \<–not joking > dont like fords new styling - > that thing is almost as ugly as the Fusion. - > [quote]i hate ford - > Interior looks nice…exterior is DISGUSTING. - > What the hell is wrong with Ford? - > I like it, cant wait to see the 3 door version! - > not too bad, at least is not boring… - > wow…just wow. holy ruining of a great car. they shouldda just followed suit with the direction ford UK took with the focus. wow. i really cant beleive how bad that looks and how NOT focus that is. - no offence but I think the best part of that is that it doesn’t look like a focus, i was ever a fan.
