    Euro MK2 Focus Sedan

    This is GORGEOUS. I would buy this over a Mazda3 soley on the styling.

    It's the MK2 Focus sedan, based off the new C1 platform w/ the Mazda3 and S40. We're not getting it anytime soon in the US, just a mild restyle of the MK1 Focus. Argh.










    Here's what the US gets:

          The biggest problem with the US focus is that it has no hips...the sides are just flat straight back, and it's tall and narrow. This one is more aggressive than the protege.

            Clint, I am sure that you know that this Focus Concept is oriented for Chinese market. You and I both visit CarSpyShots, and I am not sure if it was discussed threre, but I remember reading on Autoweek about this car being made for the orient.

            But I do believe that Euro spec Focus will look a lot like what was shown here.

              Yep, that's what I figured since the front ends look exactly the same as the Euro hatch version.

                  Exactly. This new one has some sweet fender flares like the 3rd gen Protege, and having larger wheels just accents that even more.

                  Another problem with the current model...the ****ty interior. I had a rental Focus twice and wasn't impressed by the "quality" interior.

                  Take a look at the euro Focus C-Max:

                      How many recalls has the focus had? Like 15? I'd buy it just for the handling if the build quality wasn't complete crap.

                        That's because Ford rushed the suppliers for the US model to get the current car over here on time. The Euro MK1 Focus is much more reliable than the Mexican-built one the US gets.

                          Well, either way the US-spec model sucked, although I think the 03's are a bit better.
