Both of those look nothing like the Corolla. The proportions are different, and the detailwork too.
The Corolla looks much less busy than the focus RS.

I actually really like the Corolla. It's aggressive, but the proportions are good for a FWD, lines are clean and the detailwork isn't too busy. Ford did a good job with the new Euro Focus too.

Less busy? There are lines headed in every direction. Parked side by side the details and proportions may be ovious but if one was comeing down the street at you it could be hard to tell the difference.

I suppose. I guess that's why people ask if my red 86 is a ferrari or a lambo. Sadly not, I say

I like a sports car to look, well, sporty. A lambo is often outrageous, but you kinda want that...
Saying that the new civic type r isn’t my taste, but kudos to them because it can never be called boring.
I doubt the supra will have all those fins and shapes and plastic sticking out of it, but I really hope it’s exciting once in production - otherwise I’ll just buy a Porsche Cayman. Proven to handle well and be a fast sport car.

It must sell, given all the fans of "aggressive" styling here. I seriously regret selling three bikes now, as there is simply not anything current that looks even remotely good to me.

I park next to a 15 BRZ, and I admire them both, sexy little cars, until I see the front of mine and it pisses me off. Wonder if he's be interested in a swap, or would notice if a Halo magically appeared on his silver BRZ.

You could always order a 17’-18’ BRZ front bumper and have it painted..I’ve thought of doing that myself as I wouldn’t have to figure out what to do with the 13’-16’ FRS/BRZ turn signal area but it also feels like a huge waste of money haha.

Imo, if you're going to do that, get the tS fog light housing. The normal BRZ fog light housing isn't that nice, and unless you install fogs looks awkward.

I'm right there with you on the bikes. I don't understand why most modern bikes have to look like a ninja star? All the weird sharp angles and alien looking plastic is seriously unappealing to me.
