Honesly the the Way that Everyone is Hyping the MK3 2010 Focus is a Joke, really it is, Becuase we full well know that we would not see it till 2012, just because there is no way Ford, or Any Car Company would drop a redesigned Car in just 2 years, Just to bring out a fully new model from the ground up. In Europe they will be getting the 2010 MK3 Focus on Schedule, Unless Ford Of Europe dose a facelift MK2 Focus like they did with the MK1's in 2002.
Realistically I'm Suprised no one is going, good job to Ford of America for doing what they could on such a limited budget they had for the car, as the company is still loosing vasts ammounts of money at the time, and still is, when they launched this A.MK 1.3 Facelift Focus. Honestly I think we're kidding ourselfs saying " Yeah the Next Focus will be Great! " or " We'll Finally be getting a MK2 or 3 for 2010" just because if Ford continues to slide and fall further and further in to debt, they will cut more things they can't afford, like retooling a plant, or spending the budget to revamp the current global Focus to North American Safety and emmissions standards just to sell it here.
The C2 Platform is a great one, and I highly doubt Ford of America will bring it along anytime soon, as it was made and designed in Europe. Ford Said years ago that the 2008 Focus Concept shown at the Shanghai Autoshow in 2004 or 2005? would be our 2008 Focus and it will have a C2 platform and the 2008 Focus will be a Global Focus Again! well guess what it's almost 2008 and this is what they could do on a budget, we can choose to buy what they made or do what most people do when they don't like something, and that's look else where till the next one comes along.
We all have said it before, and hear it all the time when people say " It's just a Focus " We know for a fact Ford of America will more then likely never sell the Fiesta, or Ka here under the Focus and let the Focus go upscale, like Nissan is doing with it's Sentra with the Introduction of the Versa under the Sentra. Honestly I really think and most of you would agree with me here and say Ford Of America, would rather go-it-alone then take notes from Ford of Europe & Austraila, on how to build a car.

I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
