ASTEEG! Yung bagong Ford Focus may tinatawag na Active Grill Shutter. Basically if you don't need the engine to be cooled the grilles CLOSE down and make the car more aerodynamic and in essence more fuel efficient...

Meron din syang ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (ala Lexus LX) but for a price of a FOCUS!

Meron ding START-STOP technology...

Now the question is when the Focus comes here do we also get them? This will be a test of the ONE FORD philosophy!

I don't think a single one of those features will make it to the ASEAN market.

The U.S. Cruze Eco also has something similar to the Active Grill Shutter, thus the 42mpg highway EPA rating on a manual.

Well that's Government Motors, I am hoping Ford will be different with Alan Mulally's ONE FORD...

I mean our local Fiesta in general is very similar to other markets especially Europe (meron lang silang PUSH START na wala satin pero yun lang). Mas maganda pa nga daw sound insulation nung atin kaysa sa Europe... So sa Fiesta di tayo pinabayaan ng Ford. I hope ganun din sa new Focus...

Some of those features in the ff. ads being introduced in the US... ONE FORD is very evident even the way they do commercials. All commercials are the same pero iba lang yung accent American English for US, British accent for the UK...
