Ford Focus 'Kinetic' -- TDCi + 'Powershift' DSG

[Dr.Kamiya]

From: Fifth Gear

The new Focus doesn't just do its job; it sets the benchmark for the class. Not only does it look the part, but the ride and handling are superb. The steering is precise and assured into corners and provides excellent feel and driver involvement.

The introduction of Fords PowerShift transmission in 2008 is another first for Ford; a six-speed double-clutch automated manual (similar to the VW DSG system), which will be available in the 2.0litre TDCi model.

Wonder how much it'd cost? If Ford can find some creative way of bringing that package in here for under 1.2m (with the DSG), it should sell even better than the current TDCi.

Possibleng dumating yung facelifted Focus. Siguro sa susunod na taon. Pero guwapo pa rin naman yung current Focus dito at mas Teutonic ang dating (i.e. classic lines kaya di kaagad maluluma).
