Ford Focus Mk3.

[Jag_Warrior]

Other than it being an RS, I'm not entirely certain of what I'm looking at here (an actual car, a foreign version or just a concept), but I have to admit that I like the overall looks of this car. I'm going to soon need a new daily driver - the Subie WRX is getting some age on her. If I could get this particular car, with this particular styling, as a turbo 4 cylinder with AWD (gotta have AWD), I would head to the dealership this summer. Sadly, I'm less than thrilled with the styling of the new WRX's. Just like the Jaguar XK8, after the 2005 MY, I feel that the styling went down the tubes.

For a daily driver, this car is me: the middle aged dude that refuses to accept that he's not 25 any longer.

That is an Mk.2 Focus RS. That particular car is after the facelift in 2008.

I suspect that the Mk.3 Focus RS will look similar to the Mk.3 Focus ST



Probably the glasshouse will have to be altered, because as far as I know, there isn't yet a 3-Door Mk.3 Focus.

Well these cars are commonly know in the circles I am in as a Frod (rhymes with the crime) F:ck-us.
(Well it is a fraud in a way since it is merely a fwd car, a samhe when the essentially identical Mazda can be had with the same excellent Duratec/PZ and AWD)
The new Sub-a-rat, since it is essential a cheesoid set up in the rear every biyt as weak and flimsy as the Frod F%ck-us and it even looks nearly the same, is known as a Suck-us.

But the new short black skirt is not new but old:
RWD
More fun, less bother.
Stick a good multi-plate diff in the back and good tires and you'lll have more fun at fractions of the cost.
(Says the man who will be un-awd-ing his 4x4 Cosworth rally car soon)

I'd suggest a nice 240 Volvo turbo built right....with the right parts.
More fun than a Subie costsing 10 times as much.

Nobody want to see what the oem suspension looks like in these F)(ked-us?

The interior looks identical to that of a Mk 1 focus. In the stock version at least, the Mk 2 interior got a spruce so this picture confuses me.

That front end is disgusting. The whole car seems out of proportion.

That's because that IS the interior of a Mk.1 Focus. The interior of the Mk.2 Focus RS looks like this:

Wassamatta U? That's called "the dead fish mouth" look. It's the latest thing man!!! Look its everywhere, on Audis, on Evos, on Fang Yongs, EVERYWHERE!

Having a grill that looks like a dead fish mouth is the new black mini-skirt for all the boys.
