Can't see too much of the front and rear due to the camo, but it looks like it has side sculpturing that is sort of the reverse of the traditional Mustang and the corporate three bar grille. Interesting... Thanks for posting this, I was wondering what it would look like...

 

For some reason, rear end reminds me of European Focus CC.

 

I'm digging the Chrome door handel on the coupe......So no Hatch anymore?....ah well.....now it can compete the COBALT head to head. Looks like it will be really different from the current one.

 

I saw the pics on another site, and I really like how the coupe looks. On that site, another person actually walked up to the coupe, and replied that the whole interior is different than the current car, and even the steering wheel isn't the same one that is in the Fusion. This is all good news. I just hope it translates to the prodcution model.

 

looks nifty. i want to see it less-camo

 

hmm i like the corvette style side scoop on the coupe.

 

I'll reserve judgement until I see it... no hatch huh?

 

yeah, a coupe is sweet, i've been wondering about that for a couple years now... but I'd take a hatch over a coupe any day. I hope they realize hatches are all the rave up here in Canada and at least continue makin' them for us. That tail light is lookin pretty cool to me.

 

I will miss the ZX3 hatch as well-but the coupe looks pretty sweet.

Anyone read any of the comments under those pics? Really REALLY harsh. I agree that they need to stop messing with this old platform and bring a totally new product. The Focus needs to be "Mustanged". New platform, new engines, NEW from the ground up.

People will simply see this as a re-swizzled Focus and pass it by.

 

You're absolutely right

 

Ford debuting new Focus in Detroit

I agree. That's why they should just tool up and give us this >>



It looks bloody FANTASTIC!

 

Thank thing would sell. No doubt.

 

european focus please. no need to build from the ground up.

 

Trust me, you don't want the current Euro Focus. Its been said on other sites, that the upcoming Focus is the one to watch for. The Mk III due in 2 years, is the one that will finally be a global car (meaning U.S.)!! This car is going to be awesome.That is why you don't want the Euro Focus brought over here for only 2 years, when the all new Mk III will be out. Make due with this thing, save the money, and put it toward the Mk III

 

If the Mk III is a global car and exceeds the current Euro Focus, then I'd be all for that.

If not, bring over the Euro Focus already!

 

agreed. but i def look fwd to seeing more of this mk III.

i had a '00 zx3 stick shift, and it did its job but was definitely not something i'd ever consider buying new. it definitely held up well, had very minimal problems and i would consider the quality and cost to own close to the similar lower level imports.

but still i only bought it cause i needed cheap transportation and bought it at a great price for $4500 w/ only 30,000 miles and perfect condition back in 2003. i could have sold it this year w/ 65,000 miles probably for the same amount i bought it for. but gave it to the folks..
