I don't like the way the 05 car has a revised Mondeo nose and the same old rear end. Unimpressed.



Also looks like it is using excess old model LX mags - for the ZX3 no less! And black mirrors on the performance model too! Ford US, what are you thinking!!!

as far as I have heard the US isnt getting the new Euro Focus, they are instead getting the revised nose and same old butt.....from the posts though the focus in the US does have a 2.0L and a 2.3L Duratec engine as opposed to the Zetec...

personally, I dont mind the new front, but to retain the old butt.....not my preference.

Nothing nicer than a lowered Focus though even on crappy LX rims, they almost look big enough. But I like the nose, just not on the rounder body of the old C170 model. It suits the rear end of the many I've seen running down here ;)
