Thoughts? I'm a fan of the Cayman GT4 and the Focus RS.

 

I couldn't care less about the Ferrari - their cars are just meh. In my mind, Porsche and Mclaren are pulling ahead, while Ferrari just has brand power.

That Ford Focus is the first ford focus I would ever consider buying. The rest of course look like I expected.

this new ferrari looks very fancy, but i am not liking the direction. 

 

its clearly a fancy italian car, but it just does not impress me on the looks. look weird.  some of the older ferraries were STUNNING for their year, and still look very good.  not this.

 

 

focus looks ok,   i would like to try it out on a track.  should be fun.

 

 

no real thoughts on cayman...

Depending on cost of focus (projected around 40K) you can buy a lot more car in a Mustang GT for less (more hp, larger car, tons of features and a metric poop ton of aftermarket support...turbos, superchargers, engine mods, suspension, transmissions, gearing, etc, etc, etc...it isn't what is out there that limits the modding of a Mustang, it is your wallet.... you want a 8 second street legal 1/4 mile car, it could happen.... you want a show car, it could happen.... you want a car that can handle the twisties better than any german car, it could happen).

Glad the new Ford is coming to the States.  The GT4 is a GT4, nuff said.

Never thought I'd say this about a Ford Focus, but that looks very nice.

From being one massive Ford lover, owning 2 my self over the years, i can say this one is.... They have based it on the ST model... and nothing against it as they have changed the exhaust, given it a different front etc. But at least now it's AWD, 316BHP. You know people will be getting this car up to 500bhp (like the old RS, people got it to i believed 500-600bhp) FWD, so imagine what 500bhp in a awd car will be like.

 

Cannot wait!
