It's very nice.
I assume that would be pretty close to the model we're receiving here right? I really hope we get the three door here. I know I sound like a broken record here, but I'd love to see it.

They should have the 5-door and the 3-door for sale here in Australia. BTW the facelifted Focus looks HOT.

I agree it looks hot with or without stripes. It pretty much also confirms what the front end of the Fiesta St (mk7) might look like as from pics to me they look very similar.

That car is hot as. I think I love it even more than I love the current XR5, which is a fair feat! Guess I will fully make up my mind when it arrives here... And agreed, a 3-door would be awesome.

I don't like the carbon-fibre surround on the stereo. Other than that, it looks good.

Maybe the Sony Stereo they have fitted, just did not fit quite right. The double din stereo in my 170 which is not the best, looks better placed than that. Still, a very nice looking car. Would love to see it in a few more colours without the stripes. |

Clio 182 CUP!

I think everyone has missed the all important new feature of the XR5T;
IT IS AVAILABLE IN WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This just makes it the hottest Hot Hatch (looks wise!). Golf GTI started my craze for having a white Hot Hatch, however too many on the road so I decided the GTI wasn't my next option. The new Audi S3 comes out in white too - but, probably out of my price range. Then RenaultSport in Europe bring out a white derivative of the Megane 230 R26 F1... but Australia continues to only receive the Yellow or Black. Making this my favourite looking hot hatch... a White XR5T 3door for me please Ford Australia!
