The seppos have a habit of taking a nicely designed car and buggering it up by changing it. just look at their vers of the LR, it looks gross.

Last thing we need is an American designed focus. European is much better and I pray that when we start to make the Focus in Australia, that they get the blueprints from Europe and not North America. Never been a fan of American Styling. Australia would do well to align it's self with it's european counterparts.

Damn this is old news.... almost 12 months old

It's an original Mk I Focus chassis tweaked and now 10 years old with a new body and interior. Shame really, it looks like pus and drives like pus stuck to a brilliant chassis.

I better hurry up and buy the current model before the new one comes out and I wont have a choice.
What are these guys thinking, it looks like ancient styling going back to the late 70's.......

Because they think the new Focus will be too expensive, so they have decided to tart up the old one like a cheap whore. : Stupid yanks.
