The FFP will definitely end on the 31st. FoC has made an internal commitment that this is one incentive they won't hold over. This is an annual event now and they intend to maintain the integrity of the timing.
Having said that Ford of Canada always has some sort of consumer incentive going whether it's lower interest rates or cash-back or something like that - so FPP will be replaced with something.
How "rich" these new incentives are will depend on Ford of Canada's inventory position.
The fact that the '08 Focus is substantially different than the '07 might work in your favour if you're shopping for an '07 because unlike a carry-over situation selling the old model is harder for them - and so heavier incentives might be in order.
Having said that, I don't think FoC will have much '07 Focus inventory left by the time the '08s get here - so there will be little reason for them to put big incentives on them at that point.
My educated guess is that the new incentives won't be nearly as strong as FPP.

Since they are 2007 models, if they still have the cars on their lots after Aug.31.....will they still keep the discounted price or be willing to offer at the Family Price even after the aug.31st deadline?
My dad says even though the FFP promotion ends at the end of summer (Aug.31), they will sill sell it discounted or keep the price going since they are trying to get rid of it.
It would be good to know this because it doesn't look like i'll be getting my 07 focus within 2 days :S
