That shot of the left and rear sides of the car sorta resembles the newer Toyota Prius. Well maybe not so much as the sides of the car but the roofline. Other than that I hate the car, it looks like Ford just went to the parts bin and slapped parts together.

Okay, the two-door hatch definitely has better lines. May not be pretty, but I certainly prefer this look to the super-edgy/super-rounded first gen Focus that's currently being sold.

its a mark improvement than todays rental car design, sharing platform with the Mazda 3 and the Volvo S40 ( Ford cannot afford to be original when it comes to cars ) with some aftermarket parts it can look cool!!!!

but i guess it wont be coming to the US shores till 07, its having its debut this year in Europe as an 05 ( EUROPEANS HAVE ALL THE LUCK!!! )

I WONDER WHAT THE 8TH GENERATION CIVIC LOOK LIKE????
ANYONE???

I think the front looks better than the first generation model. The back end could use some improvements though.

Ive never liked fords really. Thats the euro focus but you can pretty much bet on the us version looking the same just some minor changes. The only thing ford has going for them is the new 2005 mustang and the gt, other than that every other car needs to be scrapped.

I thought it was the worst, it is too steep for a hatchback.

i didn't say the original 1st gen focus with the sharp headlights. i was talking about the facelifted 1st gen focus that has squarish headlights, the updated focus- looks very similar.

As a previous Focus owner, I am glad this is not coming to the US!

This is the Europe only version, thank god.
