I love the three quarter front angle. Very masculine and aggressive.
The back however seems all a bit unresolved and messy. Think they should have retained the Focus' distinctive high mounted tailights I reckon. Good find Martyvan

Now thats a focus, 10 times better than what we have at the moment. I hope that the interior is up to to par unlike the current and previous versions.

HOTNESS!
Now if any thinks the Orion isn't going to look like the mondeo/focus then they are on something pretty hardcore.

Yeah! Looks the goods! Thats whay i like about this new focus and the old - meatyness!!
The tail lights are shocker though.....too astra! The shot of the side from the front looks like an Alpha. Looks like they have chopped the roof a little too. Good move - there is almost too much head room in the current Focus - hopefully thay have dropped the seats a little too! Mondeo is ugly - this is more to my taste.

I really like it but...Its too much of a mini-me Mondeo. If you didn't know any better you would think its a Mondeo hatch.
Unmistakably a Focus on the side view. Its missing the long and high tail and indicator light cluster. I really like this in the Focus. Its a fundamental Focusness missing. Now the back is like every other hatchback. :-/ Overall though, a stunning design. I really like it. Muscular, purposeful, subtle but likeable menacing face. Will be saving my pennies. |

I like it.
It looks like a Ford. Just like the new generation of Mazda's look like Mazda's. I hope Orion has some of those strong styling cues. |

I am keen to get my hands on one of these Focus if it comes out looking like that. A diesel ST would be the one to go for. However not liking the interior pic from the S-MAX. I don't like the high gear shift placement.

they are better pics, but still not to my taste. Sorry folks - just personnel taste.
I dont like the bonnet - comes to a point - very alpha and i dont like alpha's The mid top section just looks like the current focus - i thought this is meant to be a totally 'new' design. Also with the new tuch up focus arriving in OZ in a few months - there will be a sedan version - which looks like this - to me the Mondeo and Focus look to alike - if given the choice I would take the focus because it looks the more aggressive of the two. The mondeo just looks a little to princy to me. Also what is with those rims?!?!? WE HAVE SEEN THEN ALREADY!! The current Focus XR5 and the Astra Turbo?!?! 'New' i think not! What i do like is the doors - i love the flared line down the side! Great!
