[bluetoy]

I have purposely not read this thread until today. I wanted to look at one in the real world. I looked at a medium blue ZX4 SES today. I have to say that I think it looks okay. The bumpers are much smaller than ours (about 1/2) and the painted handles etc looks better. I did not notice any black by the exhaust, it was all blue. The rear end was easily identified as a Focus. The front was not bad. The bumper looks more euro being shorter and the headlights look good with the signals in them. The grille had a chrome surround which looked pretty good. I really don't care for the dash... The console looks the same as ours. I don't think the ZX3/5 will look right with that front end on it either.

One thing for sure.. It makes all our Focuses look Old... Not worse just Old.

The price of 23,945 also seemed high with a 2.0 Zetec and no leather...

BTW. We are not getting the Euro Focus because people keep buying the one we have. That's the biggest reason.
