. . . I was hoping for a little more "mature" looking ST . . . . darn it . . . .

Perhaps in a different color it would be more appealing . . . to me at least. Looking forward to seeing one in person.

I like it overall, Don't like the color, and don't care for these particular wheels.

I think it looks great, if perhaps in a toned down color option, and a massive leap over the current Ford N.A. Focus, which has devolved into a pitiable toad of a car. I think it will be a huge hit in its market segment.

I imagine some metallic silver or gray color would really tone down its twenty-something aura and show off its nice underlying lines and styling to good effect.

I love it. It looks special enough to be an S/E. Most models have so little deviation from the standard that you can barely tell. When you see this, do you think it could even possibly be a base model car? I didn't think so either.
