I like!
Is that the new kinetic design that's going around?

Parts of that focus give away the new Falcon front end.
I like it alot!

Much better than the current focus, but they still did nothing with the back end! And according to that article no power increase, which is a bit suprising, i would of thought they would have at least try and make it competitive to the MPS 3. Any change on interior?? thats another issue with these cars.

Small changes to the rear, I like the lip on the tailgate.

I hope they bring the 3-door out here this time. As silly as it sounds but that's the one thing that's making me not really want one of the current ones. And it is what drew me to my LR, to me 5-doors look too much like family cars.

I think it will have to grow on me just like the LS did.

Very nice. I like the new design direction Ford is taking. Doubt I'll be upgrading the wifes LS Zetec to one however.

I like the look of it. Depending on the feature upgrades, I think I'll be trading in mine on one.
3 Door I heard is coming here, that will be my choice.

When it gets here hopefully Ford AU will open up some more options for buyers, the current one is fairly limited (Expensive orange paint, leather, thats about it). I'm strangely tempted by this, but I dont know if its worth absorbing the change over cost for a starter button and a slightly fussy styling crease on the rear hatch.  It's also a shame they didnt tickle the engine a little bit, but oh well.The options list will determine whether I upgrade... |

There is also an RS model that will be made, so there is your desire for engine tinkering ;)

Do you think we will get the RS version here? I've spoken to a few dealers and they say we will never get an RS version.
Maybe we could get the RS, but have it badged as an FPV. At least get it here.

Maybe we get a list of people who would put their hand up for an RS and send Ford a letter.
I must admit, I'd rather have a genuine RS rather than something knocked up by FPV

You can add Semi-Automatic to the list too. So I can drive it!

I think they are 10,000 pound more than the standard ST. Thats about $20,000 here. Maybe a little more. Around $60,000.

Has anyone got any firm info on whether the 3 door is definately coming to Oz? I was considering the Mondeo but the focus 3 door is probably more suited to what i need.
