New 2005 Ford Focus Coupe- check out this pic!

While its only a drawing it looks pretty good.

While the all new next-gen Focus might not show up on our shores til 2007 or later this coupe will be appearing in Europe around 2005/06.

Wow, that's a pretty nice design for an economy couple. Kinda looks a bit Chrysler-ish in the grille/headlights, but overall nicely aggresive. I wonder how much of it will make it to production.

I can actually say that looks pretty nice... especially for what it is... I don't say that all that often when talking about Ford...

Didn't we already see the pic of the next gen Focus, or was that the euro version only? The drawing looks too much like a characature(sp) of a real car. As we have seen, the drawing always looks better than production reality.

Guess its just me, but it kinda looks like an 80's civic hatch with some modern updates Looks nice for what it is, though.

Z284EVER--When I first saw the pic, that was the first thing I thought too. I'm pretty sure that we have seen this concept before.

That looks great. See what Ford designers can do when they're being original? And with an economy car no less!

Looks similar to the Ford "muscle car" they have in Australia-The Falcon, I think.
