    Maganda yung focus sedan ah!!
    Mukhang kakain ng malaking share sa sales ng leading japanese brand in the same category pag dinating dito..but depende pa rin ito sa final pricing at kung ano naman ang offering ng competitor pag dating ng oras.

    I envision a lot of Mazda 3 owners buying this. Very Mazda yung harap while Volvo/jaguar ung likod

    Probably late 2011? Guess we have to wait for further announcements.




    Here's one of its interesting features...
    One more interesting feature that will be available on the next-gen Focus is Dynamic Cornering Control. While torque vectoring has been increasingly used in high performance all-wheel-drive systems from Acura, BMW and Audi, Ford is applying the concept to the front-wheel-drive Focus. If it delivers, this should help provide even better handling balance with less understeer in the new compact.

    Very nice Focus. Probable interesting match-up with the soon to be launched 2012 Honda Civic.

    Matagal pa yang MK3 Focus... 2012 is the likely release...

    Pero yeah its a stunner. And its global! No more different Focuses for different markets...

    That is a spectacularly good looking car. Wow! That dashboard looks so futuristic and the exterior...! Thats going to be a brilliant car and I know for a fact that it's going to drive brilliantly as well. Ford is on a bit of a roll with their latest cars (Fiesta, Mondeo, Territory, Falcon, Focus RS) so this should continue that trend. I'm still pretty amazed at how good it looks. Could be the best looking hatch I've seen in a long time...

    ... scratch that. Just remembered the Scirocco, MiTo, Fiat 500, Punto and the entire RenaultSport range. But this new Focus, in my mind, can be mentioned in the same breath as these cars in terms of looks. In terms of everything else however, the Focus will surely be better. Ford, one thing... hurry up and the RS version out soon. Leave the estate and cabrio models for later, bring the RS out ASAP!

    No mauuna yung Ranger then the Focus both in 2012. The Explorer will come out this October then the Ecoboost Explorer also in 2012. 2012 will be a very big year for Ford PH...

    Wala na yung 1.8L engine. 1.6 and 2.0 lang ung sa bagong focus. Malamang ganun din ilalabas dito. Panglaban sa altis..Hope they dont price it too far from the competition. If they can retain the current price, they have a winner here.
