I dunno, in black I don't think it looks half bad.
But if these are the only seats available, that's a big hell no from me.

highly doubt it will come to the US with recaros... if it does, I'd be shocked.
As for the first picture, everyone will say, "hey is that a new Focus or Fiesta? - is it a rental?" and you'll just start crying
the styling seems a lot weaker than most anticipated.

I dunno I guess I kind of like the subtle looking hot hatches.
Things like the citroen ds3 just look terrible to me.

I agree with Gun, people see the Focus as a rental car sometimes. You cant expect the "common" person to see anything outside of what is truly before them.
I've had countless people ask me about my GTI, because they just havent seen a lot of them. I was asked if it was a Jetta, Tiguan, and even a type of Minivan. Talk about a huge blow....but never the less their eyes light up when I say how fast it is.
As of yesterday though, I can now say, "Yeah its gots about 360hp and weighs lighter than your Mustang and gets better gas mileage."

TTAC has the MSRP listed at $23,700...pretty much dead smack right at GTI's price...

Not a bad price at all....and if this had been around last year it would've been a tough pick between the 2....

Well the rumors for the MK7 are pretty promising. More power and a real LSD.
