I don't dislike it..

The upcoming ST one might be a laugh - same 200PS 1.5t 3cyl that the Fiesta has - maybe with a bit of added Hybrid extra poke.

It's an SUV for a family man that wants a sports car but his wife has reminded him of family responsibilities! (Look dear, they have reinvented the Puma... with space in the back for car seats for the children!)

It's a 'No' from me!

They just had to name it differently, and that is all. Puma is, well Puma, and this car is something else IMHO

It keeps growing on me! But I think Ford are going crazy, the ST-line Focus looks better than the previous gen Focus ST. And don't get me started on the new Fiesta ST, only a Focus RS would I buy, now similar money for above cars!

quite a few reviews out now, some are 5/5, Telegraph saying its a potential car of the year winner

Sounds like it could be a hit.

It really is a great looking SUV Rob, it just ain't a Puma

I do like it for that segment...I don't really see myself buying from that segment anytime soon but that's a different story.

It looks a little like Ford bought the Nissan Juke and put Ford styling on it.

The one thing I don't like about it is the way the touchscreen is just slapped on top of the dash like an afterthought. If the carmakers are going to engage in screen-size wars they really need to plan the dash around it instead of sticking it on like some sort of parasite.

And yet China manufacturers can show how it could be done. Have a look at this Focus conversion on YouTube, and the second link, showing what can be done with it:
