This new Focus, (and I have always thought Focus set the bar) will need to be better than the Korean's effort, including price.
Victor, worth having a drive of an i30 SR. The difference between the plain Jane i30 and the SR is chalk and cheese. Mind you costs a bit more.

Is that the turbo version. It would have more grunt than the 134kw/240nm of Focus plus be lighter -Focus is quite heavy.
You are dead right next Focus has to be better. I am tending to think Ford is losing its way. Its a mugs game to rely on just 2 cars for sales ie Ranger and Mustang. If we had another recession the sticker price on both these cars will frighten punters away. Looks like Ford have given up on Fiesta in Australia. I hope they don't give up on Focus. I hope we get the next model.
