another cost cutting measure that is effective: fire the north american designers, save some money, and just use euro designed cars.


ford. this is a great move.

Looking at the 2009 Focus, designers' hands should be tied so they could never design something so ugly again!



They're looking out for the best interest of the company. I'm sure that they euro model has alot more demand compared to the us model, I know i'd look into this Focus if i was in the market for a new car.

edit*



Sedan looks pretty good too

not just Ford, same as other manufactures.
compare to Asian/European market, cars that are marketed in North America tend to be the ugliest.

We need Ford and GM to import more of their EU cars into NA because most of their EU cars are damn sexy and the build quality looks much better compared to NA models.

I think I like the sedan more than the hatch!

I wonder when the new Civic/Corolla/Lancer/Imprezas are coming out..

we've been selling lots of Focuses. In fact we only have a few left!! I'm sure that when this 2011 model hits the ground we will not be able to keep them on the lot.

not bad, not bad at all.

Though I would've liked the gauge and instrument lighting in red or bright amber though, blue doesn't do it for me. Ergonomics look fairly cozy, and functional.
