How can it be a 2009 model if its launched in March 2008. The Autoblog website has it listed as a 2008 model. Looks good though, there is going to be some real symmetry in the Ford range come next year.

I think the front has a very distinct styling touch of Austin Martin DB9

Only difference I guess is now we will get a 3dr version and I hope things like sunroofs become an option & it gets AWD. A new range of colours would be nice.

I believe the AWD system is reserved for the Focus RS.

I'd say this is a pretty good indication of what the new falcon will look like at the front. you can see by the focus and mondeo that ford are creating a brand image. combine those pics with the mondeo and spy shots and you have a pretty good idea of the BH falcon.

Australia will get 3dr versions of the hatch plus more colours, trims and an updated inerior, there is no engine upgrades but i heard on another site that we will get a 6-speed auto, same Aisin one that it in the new Mondeo.
Looks absolutely horn! cant wait for the next-gen focus in 2011. |

Well it looks great but lets hope that this one is faster than a BF XT taxi in a straight line. When the WRX, GTi, MPS are all capable of running low 14's, the Focus's 15's don't really excite me...

 New WRX is a high 14 second car as tested by Best Motoring. MPS is mid 14 and I think GTi is like low 15?
