  1. Ford really needs to bring the new 2018 Focus earlier than expected Their new global C platform is a must for Ford to survive Europe

  2. sic22l The current Focus was deigned and engineered in Britain, its no way a global car, its a European car thats made global not the other way round The only thing American in the current Focus is the SYNC II MyFordtouch, every other component is designed and engineered in GB and some in Germany U must understand that Ford EUrope has 1 big issue, ie packaging All European Ford cars have large exterior dimensions but too small interior dimensions, its a common trait for Euro Fords, eg Fiesta(smallest green house),Focus and its derivatives like Kuga,C Max etc Ford Europe needs to understand 1 thing , SPACE is LUXURY 2nd thing is packaging, Ford Europe took too much tiime to bring a 1.5 100+ bhp TDCI to Europe, pity on Ford Europe, the Kuga 1.5 TDCi would have made much bigger numbers but Ford Europe is a bunch of fools I am happy to see the new MK IV Focus spy shots because its getting wider and longer which is a MUST, and ur argument that global car is bull shit, U must understand that every people around globe can identify a good handling smart compact car, not just ur pompous dik head Europe

  3. sic22l Again utterly wrong The Focus was introduced in US in 2011, Yes the Focus has the world in mind while it was developed and thats a very good thing cuz not every1 is akin to the stiff setup of MK II Focus. This lead to Focus MK III being worlds best selling car by 2014 May, Then came the Golf which destroyed the Focus because Germany is still way way superitr to Britain,USA etc Focus cudnt do anything to Golf because Golf is lighter than Ford and yet more powerful and spacious and comfy and quality rich and refined, this instamtly killed the Focus, I still say this, Fieats,Focus,Kuga,C Max,SMax,Galaxy,Mondeo,Transit All these are British engineered,and shows how foolish Britain is,

  4. sic22l So whats ur point, America is bad and Europe is better, bull shit See I am from Taiwan, my job is DCP so I ve got to travel to lot of places and wherever I go I can find MK III Focus while the MK II was strictly European which means less appeal to other markets U must understand that Focus MK II had big issues with refinement and comfort,maybe after being in Europe for long U r accustomed to it, but reality is far away, the MK II was terribly stiff for crappy roads, specially at low speeds, so if people need to take it it needs a comfy ride which the MK III has , the MK II had crappy plastics inside, the MK II has better, the MK III Focus is better in lot of aspects inside out except for cabin space The reason Y Focus is fading in sales is not because MK III is bad, but because the competition has grown leaps and bounds over the Focus Just look at the new MK 7 Golf, its got uber quality interior yet its lighter than the Ford on average by 60-90 kgs The Golf is safer,its smarter, its more spacious,more refined as well new Astra too is the same case, new Mazda 3 is same as Focus but has better interior design,functionality and better front end because its lighter and we all know Fords FWD cars had a lot in common with Mazdas See the Focus being global is actually very good, Thailand,Taiwan,China,Australia,South Africa,New Zealand,USA,South AMerica... all these places the MK II was damn failure but MK III was a success, U cannot hold on to handling and make a car better. 1 must move with time as the Focus MK III did, but now what Ford needs badly is a new chassis and design and interior and luckily a new 1 is coming by 2018, till then the current model will slowly fade I am 10000000000% sure if Ford had sold the MK II Focus in USA, it would have failed so damn hard that the loss it would have made would have been terrible
