I love the look of it, am considering letting my Focus stay as is to upgrade when this one comes here in mid 2005.
The term Mk II is very misleading as the current Focus is considered the Mk II in Europe, where the first Focus design is, of course, the Mk I. Anyone who is familiar with the European Focus community will know this.

Over 4 million of the original Focus has been sold in the last 6 years, an impressive feat, one of the highest volume sellers for Ford. While the Focus is an incredibly popular vehicle in both the States and Europe, I am assuming the older blander look will appeal more to people here in Australia who do not see to like stand out cars - the AU Falcon comes to mind.
There is so much Volvo in that design also... anyone familiar with the latest in the Volvo range will know what I am talking about, most notably the crease running from the front guards to the glasshouse. Not suprisingly of course.
I think the car looks to be so much more well equipped than the current model Foci, I am looking forward to getting my hands on one already!
