Looks pretty good.

The interior shot has a photoshopped view from the car park bewtween the Excel centre and Double Tree hotel in London.

185PS sounds good, and some gadgets.

Not as dramatic of a change as the custom facelift
Dash looks very good

The wraparound LED DRLs like the Custom are nice.

It's a shame the current headlights have a pretty cool LED feature, but it's only used as a side light.
I'm running LED H15s as DRL, so I can live with it 8)

Lame facelift if you ask me, headlights retain same shape except insides are updated, the only things changed are the front grille, bumper and the dash. Really poor job from ford, expected something much much better. Lazy.

The headlights do look the same shape.

I wonder how hard it will be to upgrade to the new style?
If they are plug and play that will be a definite upgrade for me!

Bumper, grille and headlamps, most probably the inner panel will be the same part number.

I at least expected the rear lights to be upgraded to led type lights.

Personally i think the fact that you have to put on the sidelights to use the LED's in the current model is a good thing. There are plenty of idiots around who are not turning on their lights when its dark because they think the DRL's are bright enough for you to see them coming but don't give a sh*t about whether you can see their rear end :x

The new 10 speed auto will only be available on RWD.
Hopefully they'll still sell the old 6 speed on FWD.

I don't really want to go RWD just to get auto.

Even better would be 4WD auto, but I won't hold my breath.
