2012 Ford Focus
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010The new 2012 Ford Focus debuted in Detroit today and is a shock to my tired eyes. This new 'world' car looks less like a Focus and more like some sort of mini-suv crossover. Perhaps this design is most appealing to European and Asian markets, considering it will be built the same for all 3 regions. This means that the same parts will work for the American version of the 2012 Ford Focus as in the European version.
Ford looks to be tapping into a more aggressive front end for the 2012 Focus, with large mouth bumper. However, the rest of the car just doesn't match the aggressive looks of the front, looking tall from the sides, and fat in the back. Leaves me curious if the performance and handling will match the impression the body lines leave.
What do you think, is the new 2012 Ford Focus an improvement over previous year models?
