New Ford Focus launched

[Nickbrapp]

Ford have unveiled the brand new mk4 focus, and since its not VAG Pistonheads can’t even be bothered to mention it.

I think it’s a good looking car apart from the grill, although I think the front is stolen from a Volvo V40, the roofline is off a A class and the rear is pure Kia ceed, but it’s better looking than the current model and the fiesta.

Estate looks nice.

Always thought the Mk3 was a utter mess.

Shame no manual parking brake if thats true, fking hate auto ones.

Not keen on the infotainmentallinonedashtablet thing either but I guess we are all stuck with that crap these days.

Looks like LED headlights can be optioned

I would imagine that the ecoboost from the mk3 will make it's way into this with the 150ps or whatever it is

Led only a option on ST line X and the titanium X, standard on vigiline

Which Frannkly is a utter shambles. You get LED headlights on a Honda jazz now, they are a option on every golf, standard on a A3.

What are ford playing at?

The base spec is quite good though, lane keeping aid etc.

What’s post collision braking?
