Ford Bf MKII GT 40th Anniversary - Bored of Ford?

Now it has probably never been heard out of my mouth the words "that ford looks cool". Perhaps I am not a ford kinda guy, or maybe I just see how damn ugly they are. The focus was praised for its stability and good driving, but my god it was a minger. I mean at least the vectra looked like a generic saloon, the focus looked like a saloon that had come out mishapen and should have been squashed at birth. So has the time come that I can swallow my words and say "hey that ford doesn't look like a drunken mistake" well maybe - its up to you to decide. But racing stripes, even in gold don't do it for me...sorry fordy

Ford Focus ST500 - Now I wouldn't usually call a ford a cool car - or awesome auto - even the GT in my opinion lacks cool. But for a specific bracket of cash this car fills a slot - not on the cool scale of a veyron perhaps but cool nether the less :D
