The Ford Focus cabriolet coupe...

What are they thinking? That boot looks horrid, it wouldn't take them long to think of some styling for that metre of sheet steel!
I won't even mention the colour!

Looks like they've used the same pencil as the one used to draw recent BMW's, especialy the 6 series conv
|
|
I quite like it too (not the colour though), but I prefer the VW Eos. Both are better than the Peugeot attempt, but like all these new tin top convertibles they look better with the roof down!
|
Looks ok to me though not my kind of car, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than the awful 307 cab and perhaps better looking from the rear than the Megane as well IMO.
|
|
Looking at it again it really does look quite classy, I would put money on (though not with you lot!) it selling like hot cakes.
|
|
Cheddar beat me to it, it's much nicer than the 307. It looks alright to me, bit of a big bum perhaps.
Ssanyong Rodius is the ugliest car at present, Fiat Doblo a close second.
|
|
|
Actually, I think compared to the renault and pug offerings I think that's quite a nice looking car.
That's not to say I think it's a good looking car though, I am an Alfa driver after all ;)
|
|
It's OK, but WHY this modern trend for what can politely be described as J-Lo posteriors on cars? Tigra, 307, Mégane, now Focus....
|
|
It's a limitation of getting a 2 part folding metal/glass roof into the boot I think. Is it the new Astra CC that has a 3 part roof to try an alleviate this problem?
|
I wouldn't have one but it's a massive improvement on the "normal" Focus.
I can think of at least 20 uglier cars.
|
I'm with TVM - it's OK - compare with the Escort conv, for example!
Turning it around, I still think the BMW E30 conv is the amongst the prettiest - cabrio.4mg.com/marsh.jpg
|
It's a bit boxy for my liking. And I don't like a pastel blue at all.
|
|
I generally dont think cabrios work, they are always a compromise over the donor car in respect of stiffness, weight, space etc. If I were to have an open car it would be a car that was designed as such, an Elise, SL etc. Though from the rear that Focus looks as good as any.
|
|
I was looking forward to something amusingly hideous and am disappointed by this bland modern convertible. I imagine much of the rear box is taken up with expensive, heavy, soon-to-fail roof and roof mechanism.
|
I don't like the boot.
The rest (from what I can see) looks OK.

|
|
Only a bit of it is boot. The rest is full of why that car, when we see it, will cost £N more than a lighter, safer, stiffer, less pretentious saloon.
|
|
FWIW I saw the new Astra CC about 6 months ago, and a very attractive, well-rendered design it is too. None of the 307 blobby botty.
|
|
Well, looking at it again, maybe in a different colour it would look OK. I still wouldn't buy it with that boot! Escort cab. was much better, especially in purple :-)
Also, by the looks of things they haven't made a right hand drive version yet!
