I have been window shopping around Autotrader. I am addicted to it.

Now Ford owns a part of Mazda and they share a lot of stuff. I swear this
new design 2 door Focus reminds me a lot of 1st Generation Mazda RX-7.

The door handles, dash, wheel. Even some stuff under the hood. Just looks like whoever designed the 1st gen got there hands on this car or it was somewhat influenced. However lacking pop up headlights...

if you squint your eyes really hard while listening to some old school micheal jackson songs....then maybe....just maybe there may be a hint of similarity

You've been breathing too much nitrogen. That thing is a polished turd with lipstick.

Joker1337

It has those rear wing windows and... four wheels and... a dashboard?

Me no get the smart stuff that you sees.

Box_Man

One of the few cars that has a dash reminiscent to that of a SA/FB (to me anyways) would be the Audi A3.

That is about as far away from an FB as you can get without putting sliding door or a truckbed on there.

They look very different I may have the flue but they look different. I can tell easy. The FB was made in Japan and the new Focus dont look good. I like the first and they are now made in mexico wich is to say FAR AWAY FROM (now john deer. Even my friend that is a BIG ford fan that owns a camaro and never works on and will never get finished and makes fun of GM alot said they are made in mexico.

You must have been looking at the Ford OuttaFocus ......... it has a vague similarity to the FB after staring at the sun for 10 seconds

Crunchy

You guys are looking at all wrong you've got to cross your eyes and hold your face right up to the screen with the volume up all the way, if you do this the similarities become blatantly obvious.
It has 4 pneumatic tires, the engine is in the front, a steering wheel, radio, speedometer, gas pedal, 2 bucket seats, and 2 head lights could the be more similar

This was a good laugh!

Finally Ford got it right.... Copy a classic and you will sell a million of them...
