[Sol-Badguy]

I love the newest one.

[nreggie454]

I like the older body style much better.

[SubiStokes]

I say two but my mom likes one haha

[5speed]

I love both but the 2nd is just more my style.

[Z0_o6]

based off of strictly aesthetics i like the 2nd style better, the whole design just flows better in my opinion, but overall I like the 04-05 style the best of all :D

[BABY J]

I say two but my mom likes one haha

He knows this, he's just saying he likes the 04-05 Better.

[TSiFTW]

#1

[BABY J]

Still a virtual tie - 57 to 56

[DunDunSkeert]

I like neither because Ken Block is a sold out airhead, jk the cars are still cool, Ken Block on the other hand... not so much.

[BABY J]

The road to success is filled with haters. Always has been - always will be.

[S.Brewer]

Im wearing a DC hoody. its got all Kens sponsors on it, on the back got subaru, monster and DCshoeco. the arms r loadrd with sponsors and right sleeve says Block 43. That man can drive. "the infomercial" = SEX

[hondalover00]

i would like to have both

[EJ25RUN]

The 2010 Ford Focus


The road to success is filled with haters. Always has been - always will be.

You say that but for those of us that have followed Rally US since Hyundai used to compete, Ken is more celebrity than rally driver.

Next year is his first against Loeb and Hirvonen and it will be a trial by fire.

#2... just a fan of the 5 door looks secksee!

[DunDunSkeert]

True. But the fact that any of the other WRC drivers could have done all the stunts he did is also true. The mad has talent, but he's not some super amazing driver like he tries to make himself look. I understand that he was trying to promote his company but I think it would be cooler if he did it using real hardcore rally footage.

[JDmFLAVA]

2nd. hands down.

[Logan]

1st

[Hondatwin23]

2nd one i like!

[EJ25RUN]

82/82

this is closer than i thought.

[punkr6]

[RickyBobbyV8]

Lulz 2nd kinda looks like a riced out focus

[BABY J]

Virtual tie:

[RHD-DA6]

1st is the money shot. IMO :D

[EJ25RUN]

Here's the Focus Vale drove at the Monza rally which Ken Will drive in the 2010 WRC.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2740/4143573567_91e1e4fe57_o.jpg

Best of luck cause he'll need it against Loeb.

[imprtguy_94]

the 2nd one, but both the vids they made are badass lol

[claybird]

1st

[mocha latte cupcake]

1 spoke painted queer style is hopefully a new trend that WONT catch on.

GEN 1 please!

[Doppelgänger]

I just hate all the new WRX/STi hatch back things. Completely ugly. Subaru had it best with the GC8.

[SPOOLIN]

The 2010 Ford Focus

lol i was wondering where he raced right now because i've never seen him rally. Mikko and Sebastian will tear him a new ass hole.

[LIKEG6]

Number 2's graphics are sick

[Deke]

#1 for sure. The new body styles have grown on me and I've even considered the possibility of owning one (if I were to buy a brand new car), but the 08-09 is still by far the least attractive WRX/STI that's been available in the states.

Oh yeah, and the 2nd one has white wheels...ew.

[leroy12]

2nd for sure

[Brian*]

1.

[FoolsDrifFWD]

how about fuck ken block?

[BABY J]

LOL @ all the haters.

No1 on this board can hold a candle to KB yet they hate. If you're better - then do something about and let the world know. To sit down on the same stage w/ some of the VETERANS in rally is an honor in itself that not every "Joe w/ a car" gets. KB will not win any championships but he will win some stages and do decently compared to the superstars that he will drive against.

The first one just has a much better look.

Gymkhana isn't really a sport though. It's not against a clock.

That's why drifting doesn't make sense. You can't subjectively win a motorsport event.

and "Get over what?" Subaru of America's rally team pays him to win rally championships. So far he has yet to. Travis Pastrana has been the only one making noise on the actual rally circuit. (Granted, his and Ken's cars are in much higher spec than everyone elses.)

I don't like to talk down on anyone but most of KB's fans are a bit clueless on everything outside of those infomercial vids.

Again, WRC 2010 will be the learning experience everyone's been waiting for.

"Gymkhana events are time and/or speed events in an automobile." Looks like its against a clock to me :thinking:.

So being judged by someone else means nothing? That means all those guys in motocross freestyle etc dont make sense either....right?

He gets paid to win? Everyone gets paid to race in rally....and Im sure they get more when they win. Im not sure I get what you mean here.

I was incorrect about the gymkhana not being against a clock so it works there but there really isn't many championships at a high level for it. It's mostly club racing.

I'm not a fan of freestyle motocross. I feel anything that has judging will get results that don't always reflect the right outcome. A clock won't lie.

No NOT EVERYONE gets paid to compete in rally. Most of those guys are paying for it themselves. Ken Block funded his way to where he is from his clothing company (DC Shoes).

Amateur teams, (which beside the Rockstar and Subaru crews) most of rally America is, sees self funding to compete. Also, many times if an amateur gets prize money from an event, it isn't enough to cover that weekends expenses.

The ratio of drivers that get paid to drive vs those that don't is like 10%.

If im right, gymkhana is somewhat new(i might be wrong), so the number of people competing isn't close to other sports yet.

I see where you are coming from about judging, but with some sports, thats the only way they can determine a winner. Simply getting to the finish fast wouldn't result in many tricks/stunts which is what both sports are about.

Some people are more fortunate than others...thats just how things are. DC is Ken's company and if you were him or anyone else was, you would be doing the same thing to promote yourself. Getting paid is more of an incentive for people to do something or work harder and also rewards them with better parts/cars. You cant change that. It is a part of every type of sport all over the world.

Dont make me lol. What he does is not Gymkhana. Gymkhana events are hosted in small areas not a fucking air strip. what he does is a stunt show.
this is TRUE Gymkhana.

LMFAO he does the exact same thing just at a different place. He added in an explosion, Rob Dyrdek and a dude on a Segway. Hes still doing gymkhana but with parts added in to attract more people.

Same thing on a larger scale. Sports change and are improved upon. That car is tiny...so being on a smaller course is what it needs. At :47 in KB's video pause it and read everything. The definition of gymkhana is given and explains what he is doing.

LMAO no relationship to the topic at hand whatsoever. You probably dont see drifting as a sport either do you? or are you just mad because he has money from his own company backing him and he has become successful at what hes doing? Motorsports change....they have to...cars dont stay the same. People are trying to make them better and faster everyday. This is the same thing. I for one would like to see it grow. It seems interesting as it has come autocross and some drifting as well as other things. Also, it can be timed so you need to get to the end as soon as possible. I dont see what is wrong with it.

Neither, the new FORD is going to OWN.

Hahaha... Even Ken Block had to get out of that ugly ass shoe of a Subaru.

[EJ25RUN]

Neither, the new FORD is going to OWN.

With Miko driving.

[JDM-KID]

damn tough choice, but id'e have to go with 1st. both are ba though...

[scooby_snack]

body style 1st, appearance 2nd, over all bad ass-ness both.

+1 to this

[ItsBlack]

the first one. i'm still gettin used to the 2nd body style in general,reminds me too much of a lexus truck/suv thing.

yeah, I hated the second one at first but its slowly growing on me... but still not enough to overcome the first

[ItsBlack]

Holy Old Thread!

I'm a bit late but this is just dumb. Ken Block's Gymkhana video's are just to showcase his driving ability and make a cool web video for promotion. Real Gymkhana is timed, Ken's video's are heavily edited between multiple takes where they picked the best take to make the video look cool.

and no I am not a KB hater, I like his work and hope he does well in his Ford, even though I drive a Subaru
