For a Ford, this car is damn nice.

new 2012 Focus
I'm not comparing this to the Camaro by all means. . . but overall, this car is very nice for the market.

Quote:

While Ford has long offered the Focus as a so-called world car, as buyers in America are painfully aware, all Foci are not created equal. With the launch of the latest generation of the 2012 Ford Focus at the Paris Auto Show, the Blue Oval says that while there will be some regional differences–more traditional 3-box sedans in the U.S. and China–the basic platform will be the same all over the world. The U.S. shared the Focus when it was first introduced in 2000, but only did a facelift when Europe redesigned the car in 2005. This latest version of the car will now be the same the world over and will be topped by the new Focus ST (which replaces the RS in Europe), a car that features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four pumping out 247 bhp. The car features a larger, more aggressive grille opening and is painted a color called “tangerine scream.”

looks very expensive for a Ford... and i doubt you'll be seeing many like this out on the road.

247hp isn't bad for a FWD and 4 doors. . . I had 245hp in my SRT-4. . . fun car. . . i assume this would be about the same. . . the interior looks very nice.

I can see myself punching out the lower digi display in a flurry of shifts..

But still, nice car. Been waiting for them to do this for a while.

front end looks waaaaay off to me, but otherwise, its a good looking hatch

brandotron · 09-15-2010, 02:27 PM

i mean it looks fun but i want to say pics just don't do this car justice. need to see it in person and drive it.

Sir Nuke · 09-15-2010, 02:49 PM

franknbeans · 09-15-2010, 02:54 PM

Stew · 09-15-2010, 02:55 PM

Looks like we may FINALLY get the turbo version! bring on the ST!

Entaille · 09-15-2010, 03:19 PM

cool, a ford with an interior that isn't right out of a taurus. looks pretty snazzy

LC · 09-15-2010, 03:31 PM

looks like it wants to be an aston martin from the front..

the 4th gen camaro has been put in second place on the catfish looking contest.

Your right, the front and back don't match. Front is very sleek and simple, but the back is very busy
