'09 Focus Unveiled
#21
I donno, I like the fact they painted the mirror caps finally, and those alloys are a huge improvement over the 2008 stock alloys.. I like the smoked grille, but I'd still personally perfere a blacked out or black plastic grille, or colour matched for that matter.

the front bumper looks very stupid, I mean the Kenitic design for the lower grille on that front bumper makes it look like the americans were mocking the europeans, and deliberately making it look ugly on that "pencil drawn with a ruler" front bumper, as if they were not going to use it without a fight to add it, I mean it makes the fog lights look very oddly placed, like they were a totally thought of last like " oh s*** we forgot about the front fog light placements! what do we have left in the parts bin?? oh these old freestar fogs will do!"

The rear spoiler on the window is just stupid. put it on the trunk and be down with it..

I'm happy to see all the crome gone, but they missed the rear lights, and they are still missing the wagon, and 5 door hatch.

With cars like this there will be no american manufacturing plants in Canada anymore. This car is brutal.



Look at these cars you can get in Australia. Ford and GM NA could learn a few things.

I like this car for some reason.
Suzuki swift instead we get a rebadged GM version.

Check the specs, obv not in the same league as the focus but their desing teams are 1million x better

This is GM

Fuel is $1.60 a litre but at least their design teams have some brains

Actually the Suzuki Swift we get is actually a rebadged Daewoo. Almost all of GM's small car line up is completely made in Korea by Daewoo.

In case anybody didn't see it...

Last night was the TV unveiling of the '09 Coupe... In the cheezy Ford commercial on American Idol.
