I thought the same thing. When I first saw the 'new' Mustang at Thunderhill in
March of 1999, I didn't like the angles and curves mixed together. Apparently
everyone in design today likes that look - I mean you just can't get away from
it. Even the new Miatas have leaned that way with the redesigned mouth. I
prefer the curvy lines of a Jag or older Ferrari, but the Focus has actually
grown on me, and we're considering replacing my wife's 323 with one. They've
gotten excellent reviews in all 3 forms (coupe, 4-door, wagon).
Kam - I'll have to look you up next time I'm in LV - we seem to share the same
opinions. JK.
