Focus has a few designs cues that do raise the brows, but this... I think car bra sales for this will skyrocket. It's like they put a lot of effort into making it this tacky. Complete design failure; the designers should turn themselves in for this abomination, or get another job.

Drum brakes are better in some situations. Apparently they have a MUCH better park brake, and are better with differing loads and towing.

I do agree that it has Honda Civic/Accord Euro look to it as well as a bit of Subaru.
Are these car companies going for first prize in the ugliest car competition for 2011? They start off with a decent looking model and then make it look absolutely woeful.

Camry's are appliances for people who have given up on the thrill of driving or never knew of it in the first place. I'm bored allready. YAWN

As I think disc brakes would be to difficult to adjust for when weight is placed in tray. Just a thought.

That side profile is terrible, and the rear end is Subaru boring. Lower front bar is hiddeous. |

Front reminds me of newer Subarus, and they aren't pretty.

I look it - though the front looks like the Hawk front bar you can get for an AU falcon. I still wouldn't buy one (says he who drives a Mitsu 380......)
