Focus ST (2013)

I hadn't seen pictures of the crash. It's much worse than they made it sound. Obviously, with Ford involved, they will get it back on the track in no time.

To each thier own tastes I guess. I happen to like them on my Focus myself. looks like something Volvo would've done.



I find it kinda funny how the Japanese can design anything and get away with it. Ugly tailights? Take a look at the Nissan Juke. And especially that front end. Still trying to figure out which is the headlights, lol.

As far as the Fiesta ST, it's pretty much a certainty that it is will be sold. From what I've gathered, it's production was purposely pushed behind the Focus ST. Seems Ford wants to offer the Focus first for some reason. I'd say the Fiesta ST will be available within 6 months after the Focus ST. Just my prediction.

At first I didn't like the rear lights -- only because the past two generations were vertical. A lot of people were polarized on it because it was thought to be one of the Focus' distinctive styling.

Now I don't mind them as much. Then again, I'm partially biased

I wish! It's winter now and snow. The picture was taken late October when I got it. I've since had the windows tinted as I did with my Fiesta. 3M colorstable at 35%.

Hmmm, I have a Panasonic Lumix camera with a 10x zoom optical lens. I think it may distort slightly at close range. That or I took the picture at an odd angle. In the picture my Focus looks more "squat" and the tailights huge. The Sterling grey is a nice color. Looks dark at times when it is cloudy, but in the bright sunlight it lightens up and really sparkles! too bad they didn't offer the color on the Fiesta when they retired the Montery grey.
