Lord Dave has dismissed the vehicle as unimportant, please go back to your stations at the sound of the tone.

Id rather buy a kia picanto 1.1 Automatic than that, it looks boring as the TV Box car I built when I was 7 - with cardboard wheels.

Lord Daves opinions on the people who will buy this car - this is all scientific fact, there is no real evidence for it, but it is still scientific fact:

Mr Middle aged man, working in a sensible middle management job, living in average semi in the suburbs deciding to be a bit racy & get a convertible - of course nothing too racy you understand (doesnt want to be accused of going through a mid life crisis) - but perhaps a brand new convertible ford focus :lol:

 Rich middle aged men will buy these for their wifes as they dont want to splash out on a Porsche boxer but think that as she doesnt know much about cars and is screwing the Gardner anyway it doesnt matter and they can get a convertible on the cheap.

In a few years time (after it inevitably depreciates like F***) it will be affordable to people called Wayne from Essex who can use it to take out girls called Sharon wholl be ever so impressed with Wayne as hes got a convertible. Wayne will be chuffed to bits with his car because Sharon will put out in the back of it as will her best mate Tracy. When Wayne gets more money from his shelf stacking job at the local ASDA  he can stick bits of plastic all over it to make it look super cool.

The last Ford Focus? Something new and relatively unique. There wasnt much like it on the road at the time and although it took a while the design of it really started to grow on me. The current one? Bland, boring and stale. That thing in the top picture is the same, only more so :\
