This picture isn't mine, but it was taken by a member in my local Ford Focus group(MI Foci). Dem baby taillights, that "diffuser". Still not sure how to feel about it, but I love that Magnetic metallic paint.

Whoa, I'm digging the new rear end.

Looks a lot more compact and visually put together. The outgoing model looked a bit bulbous in my opinion.

Uugggh why must you do this. You know I want one if these. I can't afford the payments right now. You and your $300/mo

Hey! I like my bulbous fat ass thank you! :P
I like the rear end, save for the oversized diffuser.

Sorry 'bout that friend. You'll get one soon!

Did they change that rear diffuser? See the pictures of the euro one - they didn't look like that. Ordering hasn't opened and delivery isn't supposed to start until December...

Eventually.

They changed the entire rear for 2015. New lights, bumper and hatch. The spoiler stays the same though.

I DONT HAVE THE MONEY!! Maybe I'll find a nice one in the springm

Of course you will! They're not even out yet!

Is yours a '14? I'm sure there will be some of those used in the spring! Or even some '13s

im not super digging the smaller tail lights. Sometimes i have trouble seeing turn signals at night because theyre too small, and surrounding lights are too bright in comparison.

Most of the '13s are gone around me, but there are, and will be '14s for sure!

Eric @ opposite-lock.com > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

No, I mean look up a 2015 Focus ST. See the rear end. This doesn't look like it, but otherwise looks like the 2015.

Theres 1 '14 near me that's new but it's 28,000 and $5k down won't help get that payment below $300/mo. I will be patroling Ford lots in the spring though.

Kinja'd!!!

This is the official media picture.

I should know considering I've been waiting/saving specifically to buy a 2015 FoST. I've been drooling over the pictures since it was announced at Goodwood.

Edit: I just realized it was at an angle, so it must be a reflection off the windscreen.

$28k?? Is it an ST3?

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Eric @ opposite-lock.com

I believe it may be the reflection that's throwing you off.

I was about to say I should know, because I've been following the 2015 FoST and the never ending wait for the RS for the past year. And I drive a 2014 FoST so I know this bumper is the 2015. :P

Here's a better picture of the color.

Whooooah. I'm not too into the new rear end. Or front end really. I just wish I had HID's on my ST2, as well as that flat bottomed steering wheel.

08/16/2014 at 16:33

Not sure, I'll let you know when I'm on my computer again.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
08/16/2014 at 16:36

I want the steering wheel, and 2015 front end; and RWD, and the Ecoboost 3.5L V6 for my ultimate hoon hatch. :P

08/16/2014 at 16:37

Hahahaha. Wouldn't that be nice. I wished for AWD… I got FWD.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
08/16/2014 at 16:39

We'll never get an AWD Focus at this point.

jariten1781 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

Why is the Focus logo so low? It looks weird.

Eric @ opposite-lock.com > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
08/16/2014 at 16:41

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for the RS. Maybe in 2016 or 2017. If it's really compelling, I'd possibly trade up (since I'll only need a very small loan). If they made a Fusion with AWD and 330+ HP, it'd trump both, though.

I admit, with the current FoST and FiST, I liked the FiST look better, but the semi-independent rear and interior mediocrity of the FiST was a deal breaker. If the body hadn't changed, I still would have bought a 2015 FoST, though, and I'd probably have it now, instead of getting it in 4-ish months.

I've got no idea, but I agree with your statement. Or rather, the ST badge is too high?

sefeing, actually bought an E46 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
08/16/2014 at 16:54

RS '16! Let's start a campaign for it.

jariten1781 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
08/16/2014 at 17:07

I think the ST badge looks alright, lines up with the crease in the hatch and the plate surround. I'd grab some floss and pulls the Focus one off first thing.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
08/16/2014 at 17:26

Not gonna happen. Ford already announced that the new RS will be FWD and nothing else. :(

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > jariten1781
08/16/2014 at 17:26

I did that to mine in the second week of ownership.

08/16/2014 at 17:53

Lame. Not sure I'd want that kind of power in FWD.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
08/16/2014 at 17:58

But it will have an LSD and revo-knuckle suspension.

If my monthly payments go up because I traded my ST for an RS, it's officially your fault.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > sefeing, actually bought an E46
08/16/2014 at 18:11

I'll accept the blame if you get me one.

Here, MSRP was like $30k but it was knocked down to just over $27.

And damn that link is really long.

That explains it, it's an ST3, also loving the picture of an automatic gearbox that the car doesn't come with. :P

That car has the full leather Recaros and MyFordTouch(MFT) and maybe some other options I can't see.

Yeah I laughed when I saw that picture, if only that wasn't so expensive. I'd like a red one although I quite like the blue yours has.
