For those of you that didn't know already, you can build and price them online finally.

But what I really wanted to link to was this: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-at- ... ow/444189/

I don't know if it says on that page, but the main blog says there will be 9 2008 Foci at SEMA this year.
Maybe somebody will be able to make it better.

Thats a photoshop from FJ.

Finally seen them in person...and blah...still not a fan, although that black one does make it look better, although anything will look better with BBS LM's on it...

I'm still holding out tho for the FS and SEMA cars to be done...

I'm thinking the get rid of the nasty fake side scoop, make like a reverse Mustang style scoop for it. Then get rid of the fucking truck mirrors, the car my have potential. But theres alot of other things that would need to change. But don't even get me started on the interior...

I'm waiting to see one with the upgrade seats and such, I do like the gauge cluster.

It also appears that the little fender thing will be coming in black, chrome and painted but it's very early catalogging so we'll see if it's correct.

I asked the salespeople next door and guess what? Amazingly every '08 Focus Tousley currently has on order are automatics :?

Makes me sick to my stomach. I'm not going to test drive one until theres a manual trans coupe on the lot.

It's what the dealers order, It drives me nuts but most people choose automatics.

It's hard to drink coffee, smoke, talk/text on the cell, shave/apply makeup, read the paper and take a nap while you're driving a manual transmission car.
