From the Ford Website (Re the 2008 Ford Focus):
>>>Solid, sporty and stylish exterior
You won’t be shy about giving Focus a good once over. (Shoot, this little number might even warrant a twice-over now and again.) That’s because the styling on the ’08 Focus is brand, spanking new. It’s no simple upgrade or update, it’s a complete personality change.
For starters, it’s stylish and sporty. Designers on this vehicle took cues from the super popular Ford Fusion and borrowed the prominent chrome bar grille design. (Which besides being cool is also quite helpful for those last minute “spinach-in-the-teeth” checks before meetings.) Other design cues taken from Focus older sister, Fusion, are the flared wheel lips and sweeping, crisp lines of the body.
Headlights, taillights and other distinct design cues
Now that Focus has a bunch of revamped styling, we should probably delve into the details for a second. Focus headlights have horizontal bars with a matte surface running through the reflection area—an instant visual connection to the line of the chrome-bar grille. The taillamps are no slouches either. Borrowing design sense from big brother, the ‘08 Ford Escape, these illuminati feature the stark contrast of a white arc cutting across the red lens, and an LED center high-mounted stop lamp. Other hot spots to note on Focus are: the front fender appliqué integrated just behind the front wheel well on the SEL model and the bold, italic badging on the deck lid scuff plates and instrument panel on both the SE and SEL.
Yep, stylish and small really does say it all.<<<
No - reliable and good gas mileage says it all and they must not have it. This is the same stuff that got Detroit in trouble in the 70's and it looks like they brought back the same guys.
Now I like Ford products for the most part, but they are going to get their clocks cleaned by Toyota and Honda with copy like this.
