Oh dear lord that is very bad!! Looks like it's been 'Max Powered' already!! :surprised:
-
:sick: :sick: :sick:
-
Maybe if the lower grille was a bit smaller and less sad it might be a goer but as it stands I'm out.
It will probably be a decent drive though when all said and done.
-
oh dear , front and back dont match the sides! looks like a lifestyle 4x4 :sad:
-
Dont think the colour helps, would like to see it in a different shade... :happy2:
-

No doubt, and I bet it will be far more powerful than a standard GTI.
-
The rear is worse than the front!! :sick:
-
That grille makes it look like a fish, or a simpleton. It's horrendous.

It can't be as bad as it looks in those pics, it's gotta be better in real life hasn't it ?, perhaps a proper colour will help
-
Dont get to excited chaps. That's just the Flavor Flav limited edition. :smiley:

2.0l 4 with 250PS. The 5 has gone now Ford have sold Volvo, plus it probably needed work for Euro5.
-
That is discusting.....
-
It looks like an even more over weight Peugeot 30*
haha
rancid :scared:
-
Any better in other colours ?

-
The green doesnt look to bad...
-
The only OK one is the black one. That's only because it's harder to see the massive open-mouth grille!
-
Dont think the colour helps, would like to see it in a different shade... :happy2:
...............same here.I like the exhaust tho.
-
I reckon it will be a grower for some
-
Sounds like it's only available as a 5 door too.
-
Just think what you could catch in that grill if you removed it...
Dont cars now have to have these high flat front ends - something to do with pedestrian safety.
-
The mouth is a bit wide :indifferent: ... how are fords for rust these days? Do they start falling apart after 5 years like VW's?

Interior not looking too bad

Not massively bad side on. Still quite tall, and I bet the driving position is still too high.

Yeh its OK from the side IMO
-
Hmm, a few funny fussy touches but I think it might look a bit better in the metal? I reckon the 3 door will be a bit more handsome.
-
Looks too much like a Fiesta to me.............
-
I reckon the 3 door will be a bit more handsome.
There is not going to be one apparently...
-
Seen worse, but really don't like the rear light clusters. Look like they have been whiz-canned by a chav.. :sick:
One thing that annoys me is that once the front number plate is attached it makes it look worse. Something a lot of manufacturers seem to not show when introducing a new model at motor shows, press shots etc..
-

Odd choice, unless it's not going to be a 3door Focus and more a Focus based semi-coupe with a different name?
Oh, and yes Ben, that plate looks frigging hilarious... douchebags!!
-
There is talk of a coupe, but only in Auto Excess i.e. fantasy photoshop.

-
Ha ha!
AutoExpress... filling the gap left by the Sunday Sport since photoshop was invented!
-
Aren't they the alloys off a 370Z?
-
Blimey.... the exterior is hideous, but check out the dashboard... exactly how many buttons/switches/vents/knobs/displays/dials does it need!!! :sick:
Its a good job they have kept the fantasic 2.5L 5pot turbo volvo engi........ ohhh wait a minute!
-
It looks like someone's shoved a load of buttons up their nose and sneezed them at the dash...
-
Not a fan at all!
I like the fact ATE have got their logo on the brakes like brembo!
they have been doing OEM brakes for donkeys years and its nice to see them getting some branding out there!

-
that is the worst looking hot hatch ever, the old one was crap but looked ok.
-
there is way to much going on inside and out and it does look like a pug 308/fiesta lovechild
no doubt will go and drive well but won't be rushing to the dealers to buy one
-
dont get this will drive well thing? the old one was so nose heavy, i know this has a 4 pot but the only decent ford in years is the rs.
-
I think I may actually like the look of it. Though wanna see it in another colour other than gold!
-
It will probably be a decent drive though when all said and done.
....Not if the Ford RS is anything to go by. Like driving a small van, styled like a cross-channel ferryboat. Fast, but.... No thank you.

behave. you might sit up high but the standard RS is as good, maybe even better than a pretty heavily modded Mk5 platform motor RR you must almost be the ultimate VAG fan boy :wink:that is the worst looking hot hatch ever, the old one was crap but looked ok.
im not a fan of this either. Id bet it will be good to drive. fast fords are always good fun

....I'm more of a German car fan than just VAG. Whether it's "better" than my modified Mk5 is very subjective and certainly not my view of the Ford RS - I simply didn't enjoy it enough to even consider buying one. It's fast but that's all. The only Fords which have ever excited me are the American V-engine'd ones and even then, Chevvy's are preferable.
I just don't like Ford styling - IMO it looks cheap and plastic but not plastic in a nice way. Fortunately we all like different things. (I prefer Seats to Skodas too). :happy2:
-
I like it :ashamed:
As if :stupid:
-
^^^^
Gee! You got me there, Steve! I thought you'd had a huge change of heart for a moment. :laugh:
-

Any idea where Saarlouis is?
-
Very ugly! :sick:
-
....I'm more of a German car fan than just VAG.
Any idea where Saarlouis is?
....A town in Germany? - If so, not too far from Luxembourg and also Nurburgring.
Now tell me that Ford build cars there!
-
Yup, Focus RS among them. :wink:
-
They build VW's in India and Brazil! :P
-
:sick:

I realise that RR, was trying (in vein clearly) to rubbish the earlier comment regarding where the Dagenham Dustbins are built! :rolleye:
-
Developed in Blighty, built in Germany... what could be better?

Racing Puma
i will give you that, mate had one when new, was ok, but slow and tad overpriced :signLOL:
-
The racing puma was excellent fun to drive, agree on the slow and overpriced though. although it is genuinely limited edition
-
500 same as trophy, sure he paid 22k in 99!
