Looks like a cool ride. 320hp, AWD. Funky front end that people are complaining about, but I don't mind it. I like the rear wing. Interior is pretty much unchanged for the most part. Pricing speculated to be around STI prices.

I want this exact color! My only gripe is 19in wheels!!

That looks pretty slick! I don't mind the front either, I kinda like it. I'm also not crazy about 19s, I like the HP and AWD though.

I like it.

Well it's not like anyone has ever mistaken a Focus for being an attractive car anyway. I like the numbers but the day I pay 35k for a Focus (assuming it's priced like an STi) is.. well, a day that will never come.

Pretty nice. I like it. I think Mazda messed up with the hatch on the new 3. I can't seem to like it when I see them driving around. I like the how the hatch is on this. Now to wait for a Speed3 and see what it offers. How long should I wait?

I think it looks good and like the front end as well. 19" rims look good but are probably not the most practical.

I think 2016, if it looks like the renderings, i'm already sold...
Have been looking for a 2nd gen in the meantime.

I really like it. Although I'm with Saul, I could do without the 19" wheels. If I was actually looking to buy a car like this, I would more accurately state, I could do without paying for 19" [replacement] tires! I like that Ford has finally make a car to challenge the STI/EVO/Golf R.

I hear you buddy, but I wonder how many people at one time said the same thing about the lowly Subaru Impreza, the lackluster Mitsubishi Lancer or even the tame VW Golf/Rabbit. If its priced around $35k, I would bet Ford will move every one of them without breaking a sweat. These types of cars tend to sell themselves IMO.

I can't say I've ever had this thought before.. but I am kind of excited about this Ford!

Oh I know they'll sell. I mean people buy Jukes and Cubes and Souls too. I could just never buy one.
