Hmm, a few funny fussy touches but I think it might look a bit better in the metal? I reckon the 3 door will be a bit more handsome.

Seen worse, but really don't like the rear light clusters. Look like they have been whiz-canned by a chav..  :sick:
One thing that annoys me is that once the front number plate is attached it makes it look worse. Something a lot of manufacturers seem to not show when introducing a new model at motor shows, press shots etc..

Odd choice, unless it's not going to be a 3door Focus and more a Focus based semi-coupe with a different name?

Oh, and yes Ben, that plate looks frigging hilarious... douchebags!!

Sideways yo!

There is talk of a coupe, but only in Auto Excess i.e. fantasy photoshop.

Not a fan at all!

I like the fact ATE have got their logo on the brakes like brembo!

they have been doing OEM brakes for donkeys years and its nice to see them getting some branding out there!

there is way to much going on inside and out and it does look like a pug 308/fiesta lovechild

no doubt will go and drive well but won't be rushing to the dealers to buy one
