Default New FoCus

Has anyone seen the new 08' Focus, or the ones supposed to be at SEMA? I like the Street scene, F2 and the FocusSport the most. This is def the nicest focus out so far, this one actually looks real good with a nice subtle kit all-around. The T Fox focus is pushing 250 HP w/ only 8 Psi, so it does has some potential...wat ya think

heres a link i found online for those that havent seen em'

Modified 2008 Ford Focus at SEMA

The "new" US Focus is so lame. This is what Ford should have done for the US market:

def the focus in Europe is much better looking than the ones we got here...They have the new i think its focus XR Turbo coming out next year which has 300HP stock...and looks good!...chances of us getting this one probably as much as us getting the models they already have..either way the new one still looks better than the shyt its replacing

Focus Sport knows how to build a good kit. Their ZX3 project is putting down 384hp/341tq on 94 octane.


And I hate the style of the new focus.

Its a big difference in build. Here in the US its a piece of shiznit entry level car. Over the big pond it's a much more of a car.
