fuzzymoomoo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The current model shares doors https://www.motor1.com/news/157415/ford-focus-sedan-spied-first/ It appears to share the rear doors with the hatch. The current one does that FYI. That rear door has a very strange shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That car looks considerably "upsized" from the current Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 That car looks considerably "upsized" from the current Focus. Yeah, it definitely looks quite a bit bigger. Though the current one has seemed somewhat undersized compared to the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Pffft, what do you know, it's not like you put them on or anything... Actually I don't, that was when I worked at FRAP Now I install door panels :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think it's a step in the right direction, albeit 2-3 years late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That rear door has a very strange shape Its the integrated C-pillar window that appears to be part of the door. If its shared with the Hatchback, it prob makes it easier/stronger side stamping too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think it's a step in the right direction, albeit 2-3 years late. Fuzzy's move from doors to door panels? Or this new Focus? hahaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Looks appealing for what you can see. Too bad it's going to be made in China, which is hopefully only temporary as aKirby has suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That looks like a big bone line passing through the door just below the glass, reminds me of the Volvo S40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 That is a very odd shape, especially the window line on that rear door. It looks big-bottomed. Hopefully seems better proportioned when the camo comes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordowner Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I was excited about the future Focus, but now that I know it will be built in China I hope it fails. So I'm conflicted about it. Edited July 7, 2017 by Fordowner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) While some will be conflicted by this, the bulk of Ford's buyers can rejoice that savings from moving Focus to China may in fact be going towards reorganizing MAP for Ranger and Bronco. This is Focus taking one for the team... Edited July 7, 2017 by jpd80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
