Just that with the matt (looks like matt in the pic) rear window, looks like a van version of the Focus, much like when Ford did the Fiesta van.

I know matt black is "in" at the moment but I really think they should have gone with conventional shiny black. Not sure the Matt look is going to age well.

I know, so why bother putting a vinyl wrap over it?
I reckon it will start to look tatty after a few thousand miles as loads of stone chips start tearing away at it on the front.

Im not sure on that one, and i doubt any dealers will know fords reaction either considering any dealer is only getting 1 car if at all.

methinks that this model is designed to be stored in a garage/private collection and not driven, given the problems that the vinyl may hold in the future
...... Either that or rag the **** out of it for a year or so and then let someone else have the problem

That's not fair to do a press car in white if you could have only bought one in black.

I've heard on the grape/great vine
Perkins Ford in dunmow are getting 2!!!!
They are not a ford dealer as such but have a lot of buying power with ford as they buy all thier company cars!!!
They had an RS focus before anyone else and sold it for £32k or that was what it was in the paper for and it went pretty dam quick as i saw it in pizza hut a week later
could just a be a lot of waffle but will keep an eye on thier web site
