Not sure about the front of the car, but the rest is awesome, especially the interoir. This would be a very tempting car. Does come with an option of the powershift gearbox?

I'm just mocking it up with a numberplate to see if that breaks it up a bit more...

Spot the FG Falcon styling cues!
depression along the bottom of the doors (where the stickers go on the GT) mirrors door handles wheels are pretty obvious FG XR 18's grill pattern Damn sexy Hot hatch though, i'd love to own one in exactly that colour scheme with those brakes and wheels.

Oh Dear. I'm sure they'll sell a few in black.
Ford sold Aston Martin but must have kept the designers!

is it just me or does the front air dam (the black bit) resemble the floor peice of a vacuum cleaner? it kinda reminded me of this which I also think has been slammed in the front with the fugly stick
 I believe I was right buying the LV or current model XR5 it doesn't look sucky in the face and its got the imho cooler 5 cylinder motor

They'll probably sell a few in QLD, the front is reminiscent of a Cane Toad

Reminds me of the cars I used to make on Need for Speed Underground 2... Not sure if this is a good thing.

Rear looks a bit busy, but im a fan overall. With 185kw it should be quick. Shame they'll loose the 5cyl aural presence.

I like it, but i would like it more if it had a bit of an opening/grill around the Ford badge it self, kinda how the EL differs from the EF, never liked the full body look around the badge personally but this is still nice

I prefer the current focus and even more so because of the I5T

I like it; exterior and interior.
It is how the ST should look. I'm glad they kept the current ST wheels with some small color adjustments. I love my XR5T because of the I5T, though the next Gen RS (rumoured hybrid) could get a look in from me if Ford OZ bring it in. I just hope with this next model Focus (base to RS) Ford OZ don't skimp out on the options. I do miss the opportunity to have gotten bluetooth, cruise control, Xenons, etc.

I love that, the whole thing looks excellent. But the front looks a bit...... Great Wall Motors.
Might be something us "playstation generation" kids are in to I reckon. |

One problem I see is that if all models come standard with "ecoboost" engines, that means it will be illegal for P platers to drive it, unless they make exceptions which has only happened with one specific engine from Volkswagen so far and some of Mercedes cars.

Think that looks phenomenal. Hopefully we will get the tech that comes with it too, My Ford and Ford SYNC with the Touch Screen display would be awesome. I for one like the looks, infect I love them. It'll stand out, and I bet in reality it'll be even better looking. Love the new Tangerine Scream, like Electric Orange with a hint of yellow.
