They are making the sedan/coupe styles interim until they start building the new focus's on the C1 platform.

The wifey likes it, so we'll take a look at them. We have the 01 hatch and the 05 sedan. May as well collect the 08 coupe.

And my wife said, oh, so it looks like the last gen Civics, cool. ARRGGGGGGGG!!! It'll be nice to see the Saleen Coupe Focus, oh wait that won't happen. And will we get the new platform here in the US, nah Mazda will though. No wonder Ford is losing to the ugly Chevrolets. I am one car away from being all GM in my stable (we have a '90 Firebird and a '06 Envoy Denali) and i was looking towards getting a new Focus as a DD next year. Not if there are no hatches though. I am still pissed right now. I need a drink, this angered up my blood.

I'm going to wait and see and drive one, Check these Photochops from the Jet.

I think it has potential, I still want a hatch but I'll reserve judgment on this one until I can check it out in person.

I already passed judgement, i could care less how it drives, i like the hatches and they screwed with that. Why go through the design pains and building new forms to just ruin a line of cars? I can fit a hell of a lot more in my hatch than a coupe and i hate 4 door cars (the envoy i like, it is comfy). I may have to think about that Pontiac G5 harder.

What are the rally teams gonna drive now? Does ford not pay attention to the modders of the world? Most of the modded Foci out there are hatches, not sedans. Way to ignore some of the most loyal Ford owners! Might as well be driving a Cobalt. The Aveo line has a hatch right?

The new wrx is a hatch. You should buy one.

Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:46 am

I already have a $30K+ vehicle I am not allowed to have 2, so no WRX.

"Hello, Ford? The '90's called they want their car back."

The same thing they've been winning the WRC championship with, The European Gen2 Focus that we don't get.

I'm sticking with my SVT, It's cheaper to buy a blower than it is to buy a new car.
