[In Focus]

Saw a couple today. Not too bad, though I did walk past them at first in the car yard, because the headlights are shaped enough like the rest of the family.

I think they've neutered the styling a little bit to appeal to everyone. In other words, it's a safe option to offend nobody. The latest Fiesta is a funky styled vehicle clearly designed to appeal to a younger driver, whereas the new Focus is meant to offend no-one. Of course, this means most people will like the styling a bit, with nobody absolutely loving (or hating) it.

This is probably a sensible move, however, since bland/safe styling doesn't seem to stop the masses who buy Toyota Corollas, Hyundai i30s and VW Golfs.
