New Fusion and Fiesta have that newer "open mouth" so to speak. I'd imagine the Focus will get the corporate snoz too, soon

Can't really get a clear view inside from that small image, but I hope they at least facelifted the dash. From when I reviewed a current-generation Focus, I thought the too busy-looking dash and its lack of any real trim (even over and above the unrefined twin-clutch transmission) was clearly the car's weak point. Same for Ford's Escape and C-Max, which use more or less the same dash design.

It's essentially the same, we can admit that. Ford globalized it to the point that fewer of their cars have there own unique design elements in regards to both exterior and interior. Acura is also an offender when it comes to this.

^^^ I don't see a Dart, but if you squint your eyes, I see a BMW 2 Active Tourer or Kia Rondo.
