I know alot of people have been wanting the Ford Focus Wagon. Have you by chance looked at the Ford Transit Connect. For those that need a fuel economy,geting in and out this is the one for you. Come on down and look at one and take a test drive. they are great and fun to drive.

This car looks even better in person. I will be ready to move up from my 07 Focus ST as long as the price is inline. I’ll take a wagon with ecoboost. Last thing, if an SVT does come out, please let the consumer choose how they want it optioned. Not everyone wants high zoot leather and every option imaginable.

The Flex is an interesting vehicle in its market segment, but it is far too large and priced too high to interest many of us. I own an Escort wagon and really wanted to replace it with a Focus wagon when I bought new in 2009…only there was no new Focus wagon available here in the U.S. I’m still disappointed that Ford denied me (and others) what I really wanted: a small wagon with a manual transmission! I hope not to be disappointed (and looking elsewhere) when I consider my next Focus.

I really hope the RS comes to the States, it would be a evo and sti killer. I have owned two focuses one zx3 and one svt. I thought the svt was fun but extremely underpowered. I do really like the new focus styling i find the 3rd generation focus styling not quite up to par.

I am not thrilled with the design of this version of the Focus. Not that its an unpleasant looking dsign but just that it blends in with the rest of the Kias, Hyundais, Toyotas, and other small sized ecno cars. I really liked the sort of no-nonsense, squared-off design of the original Focus but this design, especially the rear looks a tad generic.

I love Ford, I would like to give a suggestion! Ford FIESTA create automatic, please! Versions 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0.

It is so exciting to see that this new Focus will bring over all the features that made it the most popular car in Europe, I can’t wait.

Dose anyone know if Ford plans to integrate a CVT on this or will it be the traditional fixed gear ratios?

The “Ecotec” is a GM engine series. Duratec is ours.
