That is just first flaw, it looks not very nice to me, modern Tupperware design
I'll stick to pre 1990 cars to undetermined future, at least so far until they start to make cars that do resemble cars and not something plastic kitchen stuff with color theme from whale.
With engine installed right way and AWD or RWD it would be something I could stand, there is lot worse looking cars, but still that does look quite damn ugly.
I've not seen one in the flesh yet (even though I live 100m from a Volvo dealer ), but I've had a bit of a love / hate thing going on with the pictures. I'm not sure that I'd want a car that was based on a F*cus and my first choice would always be RWD.
But...
I'm starting to suspect that Rory will be my last 300. Hopefully I'll be driving him for a few more years, but when the time comes a C30 could be on the shopping list.

I think he was from Volvo, probably a staff car.
I went on a prodrive track day once driving the new fiesta st's and focus rs's etc.
The small special stage rally course was in the fiestas and you hardly left 2nd gear over the whole course and consuquently ragged the tits off it.
I asked my instructor what happens to the cars and he said they they get new ones in every month and the old ones go to localk dealerships and get sold as ex demos!!

The trouble is, there truly is nothing wrong with the new Focus - infact it's rumoured the handling and steering feel has been dulled down a bit in the C30 by comparison.

I've never spent more than £400 on a car, so I guess I'll have a long wait before I can buy a C30!
I did pay around 1800 and it was FWD diesel with 60hp 2.0l engine, oh joy and fun
Good thing with new cars is that I can't afford them so it is not so bad that they all look plain and dull to me, would be really troublesome if I had money and need for new one
Love it!
