I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole, the ONLY thing that I liked about it is that you could fit 4 beers in the glove box, perfect for offering the cop one if he will let you off a ticket.

yeah more or less these things were more or less put together out of the parts bins, like the Durango a few years ago when they wanted another car on the market without having a clue on what way to design it.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

unfortunately, you're right.
the AWD version is 3308 lbs
focus = 2699 lb
the focus would need about 244 HP to keep up to the power/weight ratio of the Caliber SRT-4
I assumed that since it looked like an SUV, it must be as heavy as one, it ain't.

I like it, hope they get to the dealers soon.
I have a few cars.
One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

That thing is supposed to make people forget the biodegradable car that was the Neon/SX2.0? Maybe it will if only because the thing is so stupifyingly UGLY!
I'm sorry but it has no flow, looks about as charming as a brick to the face, hell, it makes the Toyota Prius look handsome in comparision :puke:
As to the weight of the Focus, did it go on a weight reduction plan or something for 05+? Listed weight is approx 2300lbs :blink:

Well, it doesn't change the Dodge look much, does it?
Besides, that beer holder is great for people against drinking and driving... i'm sure there will be a problem with that!

Goes nicely along with Dodge's POS looking s***ass vehicle line. No thanks, I wouldn't even take one for free unless I could sell it ASAP.
