3 door

5 door

the 2-door looks neat... more of an upscale lux looking front end, though

Looks like ford and volvo had sex.

i like the side profile of the 5 door

Knowing Ford and it's cross-platform madness, you're probably not far from the truth...

not bad........we will see what 09 brings us?

There's a bit of Mazda in there too (esp. the front fenders), so let'a call it a gang-bang

Not too shabby looking. I can see some design cues from the Iosis. It's also got that jelly-beanish shape from the Japan/Euro Honda Civics.

Infinitely better than the American Focus. No surprise there.

It Kind of looks like the MB C230 sport coupe.

 

[Rainman]

The current euro-spec Focus looks like an SUV, but this baby is sexy for real!

[Hughes412]

I do like it though.

 

[ChiMSP]

looks real sharp. just what american car companies need to keep up with import competiton.

Wow, I'd actually drive that Ford, pending a decent drivetrain.

 

[Martino617]

mazda 6 headlights in a way... I like it

I am terrified by the rear blindspots. Also, what kind of rear seat entry are you going to have with doors that small?

That being said, this is almost damn sexy for an economy people-mover.

PS - Looks like Italian design efforts on some of the lines.

VERY good points! It might be like driving a Crossfire with those rear pillars.

I thought that a little, too. Fo some reason SEAT popped into my head when I first saw it.

side profile is really neat on the 4 door. Need to see that front hood a little more before I decide. Certainly much better looking then any other domestic econo car. Good move for Ford.....can't believe I just said that.

Of course you can pretty up crap all you want, if it's still crap underneath like the current gen, then they can keep it.

I agree. You never know what's underneath. I'm done being a test subject for new cars. I still love my MSP, but if I were to do it all over again I would have bought something else.
