Nice usage of the Iosis design theme. A Ford that actually looks good. Now let's see about the engine and build quality.

Looks like a retarded inbred cousin of the Kompressor.

For a Ford Focus, this looks very good IMHO. Looks totally European and has hints of lines
from the new Mercedes.

Here's a quick Photochop with a MB grille.

Not too bad looking at all. I still wouldn't buy one, but I bet you will see a lot of really niced fixed up ones in the future. I really like the front end.

I like the looks of it. Wonder what kind of powerplant they'll put in it.

Well lots of car companies are using family lineage. L-finesse, Bangle-notfinesse, Chevy boring-face, etc.
