3 door and 5 door.

 

Link says 2.5 I5. That a purely Euro engine I wonder?
That engine plus a turbo and AWD would probably make for a nasty little EVO/STi/SRT-4/Cobalt fighter.

 

Nice looking little car...significantly nicer than the current ZX3.

 

Ehhh, I just cannot warm up to looks of the Focus AT ALL. That's better for sure, but still terrible imo compared to a Cobalt or something. Not sure I like Ford's styling direction either with the whole headlight scheme that's there an on the upcoming Fusion.

 

I would much rather have the 2007 Nissan Tiida

Looks like the Mazda3 and 350Z had a child.
I agree though, looks better than the Focus.

 

I wish I could even sort of give a crap about these small hatchback cars. I think it looks good for what it is, but I think the Mazda's look better.

 

definetlet an improvement over the current Focus. sucks my girl just got an 05. she'd look better in the new one in competition orange.

 

Very nice

A focus just doesnt do anything for me, same with the civics and all the other cars of there type.

 

The Tiida is a car of that type...

 

I wonder if you still will be able to bolt a 5.0 in the front of the car?

Anybody remeber that, V8 RWD conversion FRRP sold?

 

they still sell it, and Id love to do it. IIRC it was any ford v8 that could be made to fit. the RS8 concept had the 03/04 cobra motor in it, I think

 

Ford's going to bring this out in Europe first and get it out over here before GM responds? The Astra should be over here already as a Chevy or Saturn...

The only Astra I like is the HPC , in red of course

You can buy this car now, its at your local Volvo dealer. The C30 will be out soon if you want a 3 door.
