Yeah, what do you think eh? I like the look of the car-it's vastly improved on the current model. I have heard mixed feelings about the rear-wheel drive system it has-I still think it will boogey though! I actually can't wait to see what it can do, and am quite excited about it's arrival. After reading the specs on it, it definately lacks power-however, it does have some very nice credentials. Will be an interesting one to watch.  |

Considering the change in driving style since the introduction of AWD (4WD) i'm looking forward to seeing this car on the stages. Aside from old rally footage I haven't seen much of the sideways action that these cars can generate  |

I really like the look of it. I wish that style focus was over here. The only change in the 06 focus here is the front end.  |

Really! It surprised me that they didn't market this model there too-I guess there is a method in their madness.

It has a lot to do with the Homogulation of the car. Like the Corolla the focus grp N has been given special dispensations. Would be fantastic to see both cars join the world rallying scene; even if it were only on local events such as Europe, SA, Australia, NZ etc

Actually, in the case of the Corolla, I was discussing this with a friend the other day-wouldn't it be great to see it in the WRC arena? The group N Focus would be a huge drawcard too. Is there a particular reason why we don't see the likes of these too in the WRC (on local events), I'm not completely schooled in the why's and why not's, there may be an obvious reason, but any feedback would be appreciated.
