Personally i like em, all be it only in white or black.

They do a need a bit of sorting out right away though, swap the rear lamps, and deck em on some nice rims.

Even the WRC car doesnt look anywhere near as agro as the previous cars.

Have to say having seen them in the flesh on Sunday i though they looked great...

Completely different but modern.. i particularly like the prodrive special edition in black on the dealer stand.
i thought that had real presence, great wheels and just generally a great looking car.....
found myself thinking, would this make a good a run around car

They've got new rims out now AND a different exhaust. I hope the lights follow shortly.

To be honest the blue is a nice colour too when you see it up close.

As I said on my last post on the subject. Ignore the WRX, it's an abomination. The choice really is base model or STi.

I knew the RS fad wouldn't last

in the looks department the focus wins hands down imo and i'd imagine as a standard car it might as well. but being the type of car they are, what will happen when you start to fettle with them? i think that's where the scoob will win out.

I dont do 'fettleing' and I dont want to own/drive a car tha I just think is so ugly at every angle - its a shame because inside , driving it and ragging it round castle combe was a huge improvement over my hawkeye and I WAS sold on the car that day

but then comes along this RS that looks so aggressive where-as the STI doesnt do that in its hatchback form
