I somehow doubt that the target market for the new 2005 focus is for people like us.
Sure they improved some of the engine choices, and I'm sure the handling and whatnot will be similar to what we already have, which leaves the body styling as the one big redesign.
And on that front, they've completely succeeded in making the car look like everything else that's out there. It's an Altima, Civic, Camry wannabe.
They made a car that will appeal to poverty stricken baby boomers who can't afford their mid life crisis luxo-mobiles, and rental companies who enjoy the blatant interchangeability of parts a fleet of cars with square interior pieces offers.
I'm sure they will win over their share of cavalier owners looking for a boxier, less sporty looking car.
I personally will never buy one... I'll just drive what I have until it's time to get something wholy better or I die and have it burried with me.
