Interior actually looks pretty nice. I don't like the overall shape of the car. Its very "eggish". But, for a Ford Focus, it's not bad at all.

Interior is nice. Not a fan of the hatchback red car but the silver sedan isn't too bad.

I must be the only person left who likes to have an actual key start a car...

And jesus, for wheels that big it needs bigger brakes.

HEY!! I saw this car in arizona!! I went up to a small town called jerome yesterday, and i saw one of the test mules they have out for it. It was all camoflauged with bumper covers n stuff, and they had the front grill taped up and over the ford emblem, but the inside was done, or almost nearly done, with a big ford emblem untaped on the steering wheel. it had all the laptops and gizmos all over the interior and exterior of the car, but this was it. kinda ugly but it was just the test mule. thought i'd share

I like it! Looks a lot like a larger Fiesta (sold in UK/Europe)

Last model wasn't bad looking. The current model makes me say "what happened" every time I see one. Good to see they are going back in the right direction.
