Why I like Ford Focus

There are many aspects that I like ford most!For example the built quality, handling, chassis design, design concept and so on...These are the things that other automobile manufactures can't compared. Start from the first generation focus, Ford start with the new concept design language that inspired me most!The kinetic design of the exterior and interior layout totally done the big difference form the conventional design layout!

The first generation of ford focus has make used a lot of triangular shape mainly to represent the language of kinetic!As we can see the front lights and tail lights also in triangular shape so it looks aggressive and dynamic even in the static. It is actually a hatchback car which it serves the Europe market. Therefore, the column C is slanting and it is shaped in the triangular shape, this is the best thing i really like!

Actually, ford focus is the C-segment car, so the interior space is not what we expected indeed. But due to good human modularity design, the space is actually reasonable and good enough for an Europe people. The interior layout is not what we expected to see in a Japanese car. The continuing of the kinetic design and the triangular design language can be seen clearly interior.

For the ford focus mk2, which the model I like most among the focus series. The new design language "X concept" is introduced in this car. The triangular shape is not really can see in this car already. What we can see in this car is actually the big X shape in the front elevation, which the front grill, front lights, and bumper shape a big "X" which its looks much more aggressive!The rear elevation design now is more square and angular shape, which looks more stable and tidy, especially the tail lights in the C column make the big difference from the others especially the Japanese.

This focus has made a lot of legendary achievements, such as the WRC championship, the producion of focus ST in 2006 and RS recently. The "RevoKnuckle" suspension which make the FWD can support the horsepower more than 300hp! whoa!!This is really great engineering achievement! For the design point of view, which i'm mainly concern, the redesign of the front and rear bumpers which fully represents the spirit of WRC!It is actually not overdone of it, it just suitable for a street production car. In the color vice, "Le mans green" is used for the RS concept color, which represent the spirit of Le mans' Ford racing.

Recently, The ford unveil the third generation focus. The "X concept" is replaced by some kind of "Z concept" as we can see in the wheel arch. very nice design, more aerodynamic body shape, more detail in the front lights!In fact, this focus is now in the market of U.S., which means the design now is combined with the previous U.S. version of focus, so now the "fusion" version of focus, for me, is more clean as Europe car, muscular as American, stylist as Japanese, due to the relationship with Mazda.
