The other night I noticed a Ford that looked like the new focus from the pictures I've seen of it on the web. I managed to snap a few crappy pics while I was driving. Sorry for the quality, but I wasn't able to mess with the camera (take it out of manual mode) while I was driving. The rain didn't help either.





You can see part of the grille and headlight in this one (it's behind the old Chrysler or whatever that is)






For reference:

 

good find!

fords doing well with that new grille.

 

Aren't these on sale already?

 

I agree. I noticed the car in my rear view mirror. The front end looks pretty sharp! Rear end was very bland and kinda goofy.

Not that I've noticed. Anyone notice them on dealer lots?

 

Yeah thats it. We have had a bunch at my building being assembled for prototyping the past few weeks. Focus is the name and the font is pretty cool too.

 

That was an April Fools.

I've seen a few of them in and around metro-Detroit.

You know what I've been seeing TONS of lately around the Tech Center (naturally). The 2008 Cadillac CTS.

That is one STUNNING car no matter WHAT color it is in.

 

Aww you beat me too it, I was going to say those things are scurrying all over down here on Fairlane. Also I wouldn't have been surprised if they had changed it to Escort since that seems to be the new thing, (Taurus/500 or Freestyle/Taurus X) course no one really has fond memories of the Escort I don't suppose.

 

It's still a Focus...

 

Yep, even if it's new, it's still a focus.

 

 

Don't like the new look. The Euro version is nice though. I'd sport a Euro spec RS any day over any F-body my friends. I own both a 4th gen and an SVt and the handling capabilities of the Focus are far superior to a 4th Gen.

 

Somewhere a while back I read that these cars have optional "voice control" for certain features. This is good because as the unproud and previous owner of a 2004 Focus ZX3 (bought it new), I also found myself yelling at the car just about every time I drove it. Ford is finally catching onto the needs of its customer base...

 

i saw our dealer just got two new 08 tauruses in. I never liked the grill that ford is switching to on the fusion, or the new focus i saw at an auto show, but i think it looks pretty nice on the taurus though, but i kinda liked the 500 before, so maybe thats why i still like it.
