Focus Active has been confirmed.

I can't see Focus selling in big numbers. Ford did not push the LZ and I can't see them doing much more with the new model. Their wholesale buy price is too high which makes it hard to compete in the $20k segment.

I am very surprised they don't push Ranger single cabs harder when you look at the bigger picture. They are probably missing out on 500 sales a month there, which affects 4x4 as well with small / medium fleets sticking to one brand. They would have to go back to a petrol motor to make it viable.

Hilux sells well off its history. Its not the better car. I've driven both multiple times and the Ranger is far more comfortable and better equipped.
