When will it arrive? I've heard late November. But that's from a car salesman and you know how crazy some of them with dates.

 

not bad....but get an auto with cruise and power windws we are looking at 16-17 probably.

 

I believe those are the "leaked" prices. They're not 100% official.

 

if those are the real prices thats great casue the 2007 was near identical.

 

There coming out next month.

 

2008 Ford Focus will start at $14,695

Almost $1,000 increase over 2007 model.

 

Alot of new features. Still, given the styling debacle they should have left the price the same.

 

You can credit a chunk of that to inflation. (The rate is higher in the auto industry than in the market average.)

 

Is that what they'd pay me to take that turd-mobile? Does that include a pair of welder's goggles for when I look at it? And relocation costs to the upper Yukon Territory lest any of my friends see me driving it? And a few gallons of whatever Kool-Aid they were drinking when the redesigned it?

 

It's not that bad.

 

You're right. It's worse.

 

Right down to a T(oyota)

 

It's not any worse than it's competitors; the Civic and Corolla aren't exactly beauty queens either.

 

Yeah, let's make our car just as plain and fugly as everyone else's. That'll lure buyers away from entrenched stalwarts like Corolla and Civic.

Way to stand out from the competition. Good strategy.

 

mmm....I can smell that sarcasm from across the border...

 

Looks like a cross between a sebring and a first gen Prius, what a disaster..

I hope the Focus team doesn't get to work on the new Mustang!!

 

^^^ looks like that driver is blowing through the intersection, lest anyone actually see him in that car while stuck at a red light.

 

Seems like Ford itself has acknowledged and bowed to the utter, and well deserved, loathings of the Focus restyle.

While this is little more than putting some cheap lipstick on a pig, it does show at least some dull glimmer of sensitivity to consumer wants and reactions.
