My dealer has the following:
- ZX4 SES
- ZXW SE
To be honest, the whole nomenclature deal is getting very tacky. WAY too many letters tacked onto that rear sedan. "FOCUS SES"....then "ZX4". Anyone recall the old Mazdas e.g. MX6 Mystere LS, 626 Cronos ES V6? At least shrink down one of them...yeesh!
I was really surprised to see that the ZX4 SES is basically the ZTS with 16-inch rims and available with an automatic. Last we were told the 16-inch rims were only an ST option. I didn't have time to drive it, but I might go back one weekend to see what the new 2.0L (non-PZEV) is like.
I'm still not fond of the front end. For some reason, it works on a wagon. But it looks now as if the front end has been pinched...bleh. Interior...It actually looks a lot better than when I sat in the pre-production version back in January. However, it looks very mis-matched with new/old gen parts intermixed.
It's honestly too bad to see this bland design coming out now. Ford does have some nice stuff coming in the very near future... :ph34r:
