Pininfarina designed Ford Focus

Looks like a pretty cool derivitive of the Focus. Co-designed with Pininfarina. These are pics of the concept. Ford has approved it for production.

I'm very impressed by a few of the new offerings out of Detroit. The Corvette actually getting smaller, and more nimble; Pontiac losing the cladding and now creating the gorgeous Solstice; and now this from Ford.

Good riddace to "New Edge" design.

I like it. I would moe than likely go with the hardtop, but I'd have to see them both in person before I made a decision.

Kind of takes on the feeling of the new Audis. Very stylish, and as I would expect from a coach design master like Pininfarina.

Actually it is a folding hardtop convertible. The hard top folds back into the trunk. All the pics above are of the same car.

Wow really cool looking car... It resembled the new A4 convertable to me as well. I would actually consider buying one assuming it wasn't as underpowered as most of the other ford line.

Looks like an Audi and Volvo mixed. I also see a little Scion tC in there.

Wow. That's a really good looking Ford. Does have a pretty stong likeness to the Volvo V40. I'd consider one.

The interior borrows from the Lexus ES to my eyes...
