just puttin' my two cents worth in.
One cent. Personally, I think Ford is trying to do what everyone else is trying to do, make there cars look recongnizable as their brand from the front. Every new car I see these days has some distinctive front end look which screams what brand it is. I don't know, some cars as well as people, look better in real life than in pictures, the opposite is also true. I'll wait to see when they start coming out on the street.

Two cent. As a person who uses my car as an office, restuarant and everyday hauler, I think the interior will be a big improvement for the interior abusers, like myself. I really like the optional lighting stuff.

Two more cents. Sorry, the cobwebs are starting to clear, (either you use it or you lose it )

Instead of complaining or moaning about the new Focus, all of us should be looking at the ones we have and continue to take care of them, modify them, and enjoy what we have. All of you who have a ZX3, ZX5 or ZXW, remember, that Ford doesn't make them on the next Focus, so be extra careful, it may be worth something in the future.

Last thing. I bet that all the companies that are out there making aftermarket parts are already working hard to get some stuff on the new Focus.
