I do like the look of the new interior, more refined than the current one but I can't say the same for the exterior, looks a little drab in with that grille. Much prefer the front of the current Focus.

Lol, I especially like this part. 'Escape sedan, the identical twin to the Mondeo'.
Who would have known. |

It looks fantastic! I can't wait to see the ST! I'll be getting a new car of some sort in 2015-16 and currently my heart is saying a FH Falcon but my brain is liking this car a lot (assuming the ST will look good, and I'm sure it will.)

I reckon it looks heaps better than the current one. Should knock the Mazda 3 off its perch

Would definitely make my shopping list if they put a conventional auto box in.

Bugger the ST, bring on the RS (if they don't do a Fiesta one). Agreed though, cannot wait to see the new ST. Would like to see a different rim offered too. Ford keep going from strength to strength with the Focus. Truly a world class car.

Looks good, hopefully this will help the focus to continue to be the highest selling nameplate in the world.

Very nice :-) . Relatively mild update over the current model, but looks great! 6spd powershift will be just fine for me if I was upgrading (which I won't be). It drives great and returns excellent real world fuel economy. Some may have had problems with theirs, but reviews are positive, and mine also operates very well - no complaints whatsoever. Manual would probably be the choice if towing, though.

Wagon would be a nice addition.... see a whole heap of i30 wagons around so there certainly is a market for them.

The grill is similar to the electric Focus sold in the US. We obviously get the UK version here as the dash layout is different. I much prefer the US dash layout, much cleaner, not as cluttered. It will be interesting to see what we end up getting here??

Because that has never happened before. There is a reason why, corprate styling.

The interiors of the current Focus built in the USA/Canada already have the big screen, so until I see a photo of a RH drive version of the 2014/15 to see what Australia and the rest of the world get.
