When will we see this new face lift in Australia? I was looking at getting the Zetec this month (November 2007), and now with news of a new and quite major face lift for 2008, I thinking I should maybe wait? then again, if the wait is going to be until mid to late next year, im just gonna buy now….

It’s a little gas..OOPS!I mean it’s a little Mondeo.
Sorry, I was just thinking about the old Escort ad slogans there.

I test drove a Corolla Conquest Hatch auto and a Focus diesel yesterday. I loved the overall look of the Corolla but I felt there wasn’t enough power for me. On the other hand the Focus diesel was magic to drive. I am not too sure on the quality of manufacture on the Focus,a door trim was starting to come off the demo, but the Corolla looked superbly made. Since I am coming down from a V8 I want something with a bit of grunt. I am going to test drive the Corolla manual and a Citroen C4 diesel next for a comparison.

I hope it comes out before I end up finding something to buy. This looks the ducks nuts!

The current Focus I test drove a few weeks ago I liked. The only thing I hated was that it felt like I was sitting on the seat, not in it. And the review on this site said the same thing. I knew I was right in thinking it wasn’t just me.

Yeah, looks pretty slick. I am seriously impressed with Ford’s design direction. It’s so European. WHy couldn’t they do this 5 years ago when they would have made more of an impact?

absolutely love it, very good looking little car

i also agree that they should make a hi performance version. rs is great but doesent cut it

can see everyone is doing the flared guards thing now which is a mostly audi design cue (not m3). ohhh i love audi, always ahead of engineering

anyway cant wait to see it hit aus

QUOTE = so Paul would you prefer a AWD Subaru Liberty GT/-B over the FWD Toyota Aurion TRD?

No… I do like the Liberty GT, very nice looking car, but Toyota still has it over them in quality, reliablity and the Aurion is also larger. Some bias comes into it as well!

QUOTE = Guys, Subaru backed off because they sh*t themselves when they heard the Lancer GSR was to return as the Ralliart Lancer. Seriously, would you blame them?

Riiiight… if that was the case they would have scrapped the WRX, they havent, using your logic they are now costing themselves more instead of keeping the tradtional WRX and losing some sales they have changed completely and will lose LOTS of sales. It has nothing to do with that, they obviously see potential in the market for more conservative people who want the assurance of AWD and the power of the WRX without the hoon stigma attached to WRX’s of old.
