after seeing loats of new shape focus' at work the last few days, i'm not sure whether i like the styling of the headlights/grille of the new focus st.
i am getting one in july (will have 2 years no claims then) but can't make my mind up for sure whether i like the way the front end looks. i love the rear, but i just can't get past those headlights.
will be a 3 door in orange, just can't find any official 3 door pics on the internet 



i love the mk2 focus st, the styling was excellent, this i'm not so sure of.

yeah, looks sort of the same, but every panel has been re-designed.
reason i posted on here is because everyone on the fiesta websites are biased towards loving it, wanted other peoples opinions

Quite a few changes there I prefer that a lot more, see they're still using the reversible plate

very boring interior, as with most modern fords.

wrap around spoiler over rear lights
headlights
fog surrounds
grill
every panel re-designed
i admit, it still looks nearly the same though

No doubt!
I still have a soft spot for the RS.
Would like one after the golf, though not much more would have me an Audi S4

Should have made the original RS 4x4 & it would have been perfect. New ones look lame in comparison!

nearly perfect

Horrid things! I work for ford and had one in, looks disgusting. So do the normal models, interior is sickening!
Fords just get worse and worse!

They look like a mid-life crisis. Especially as whenever you see one it's driven by some fat bald middle management type who can't get an erection so he has to suffice with a bright orange car with a gash bodykit.

In all honesty I think it looks fairly grim, but then all focarses look like clown shoes to me.
As far as i'm concerned, they should all have looked like MK I & II Escorts, been fitted with live axles and had 'Escort' badges on the back.
But then i'm an exceedingly fussy perfectionist in an imperfect world.

Love it, and the old one, but prefer this new one.

I think the use of the colour orange and the letters F.O.R.D. are far more appropriately used here
