mitlov!  ok tell me at least you don't think NA ford already has a hot lineup....please!!!!   you must understand that canadians hold america responsible for the lack of wagons on our shores.  no acura tsx wagon, no mazda 6 wagon,  no mondeo wagon, no insignia wagon  all because of america!!!

Right.  Because anyone who hates how this render looks clearly loves driving the North American Focus and is singlehandedly responsible for the demise of the wagon.     For what it's worth, I think that the current-gen Euro Focus looks better than the current-gen North American Focus.  I just hate this rendering.  The grill is the worst thing I've ever seen.

The renderings below look much better IMO (from autoexpress.co.uk as well):

Get out of the bubble before you suffocate...

Way better IMHO. I jut think they need to change the headlights a bit to differentiate it more from the Fiesta.

I have to agree that after taking another look at the latest rendering of the 2010 Focus, the front is kind of ugly. The 2nd set of renderings has a much better front end to the one Mitlov hates so much.  However, IMO, the rest of the latest car is Über sharp. Oh yeh, anyone who thinks the current or past NA focus is better than any post/current Euro Focus, then they need to be sectioned under a mental health act. Virtually the whole Ford NA lineup is poor and that;s being nice and no wagon or hatch is unforgivable.

The front end is the front clip for the North America Fiesta http://www.fordeurope.net/plugins/p17_image_gallery/images/6008.jpg , hence the Fiesta headlights. Autoexpress photochop attempts are getting worse but at least they didn't use the same foglights as the N.A concept Fiesta.

New renderings of a new Focus Coupe. Although the front clip resembles the Scirocco, I like it.

Seems to have some of the elements that I have been told to expect, ala Kuga and Fiesta designs.
Not liking the front grille, looks a little too much like the current N.A. Focus and do expect a little more
attention to detail there, also I think the headlights will mirror the Fiesta a little more.

[Dante]

I like the Kuga-style tail lights better than the L-shape style in the previous renderings. For the front, Fiesta style would be fine by me, but this one would work too.
Any idea when the production model is due to be unveiled? This fall perhaps?

[MKII]

No idea when we will see production or even mules, but I think we will see the C-Max first.
My guess would be Frankfurt next September 09.

Coupe?? Isn't it a hatch? Anyway, there's a lot of the Volvo C30 in the rear.
