You consider yourself a Euro Focus fan, you bash the 2005+ Foci and you're supporting the 2008s?
You've gotta be kidding me! The 2005-2007 Foci are the SAME as the 2000-2004, with the only major differences being a newer powertrain and improved (not reworked for "comfort") suspension bits on the 2006+ models.
You're hating a car that is closer to your own than you want to realize or perhaps you're just blindly ignorant.
In the 2008 they go a decent-sized way along the path to nerfing the driver's experience for the sake of passengers. And, I reiterate, there is now NO direct connection to Ford of Europe's rally heritage with the discontinuation of the hatch. Love it or hate it, there is still a distinct following of the WRC in North America.
The Brits are having one hell of a laugh at us right now, and we (as North Americans) deserve it. We didn't speak up and we got OWNED.
