apparently the new focus will be released as a worldwide model to replace the European & American Versions & have just one type of focus. So my guess is that it will come down under aswell

I much prefer the current shape. Aside from the interior, the styling is rubbish.

I still say that we need to see it in the flesh. The main reason why I say, I don't like it, is becasue now my Focus is no longer the current shape. :(

I want to like the new focus, but I'm not sure I do.. I'm hoping it looks better in real life than in pics...

I'm gonna go against the grain here, I actually really like it. And I don't mind the interior either, very modern.

I love the look of the new focus but the ST model just looks wrong.

yeah, i think i really like it, particularly the front-on view.
interior looks pretty good too, though getting an aftermarket headunit in there could be a PITA. the front of the car does look a little high though.
