FocusSport is having a "reveal" event for the 2009 Focus on 5-17-08! - Focaljet

**FocusSportVP** · 05-02-2008, 10:41 PM

On Saturday, May 17th FocusSport will be hosting a "reveal" event for the new 2009 Focus. Ford Motor Company will be showcasing the new 2009 Focus here at FocusSport from 11am to 2pm. Focus brand manager, Sam De La Garza and other Ford PR staff will be at the event to talk with attendees and answer questions.

The 2009 Focus has undergone some exterior changes and that is the reason for this event. And this isn't like before where there was a minor tweek to the fog lights, this is more significant from what I have heard. As far as I know, no images of the revised exterior have been released or leaked.

Along with the new 2009 Focus, we'll also have our Grand Prize winning 2008 Street Tuner Challenge Focus and our award winning 2008 SEMA Focus on display.

We are also considering rides in some of our turbocharged Focuses for interested parties.

Food and drinks will be available and we hope to have some promotional give-a-ways, too. We look forward to seeing you here!

Lastly, I'm trying to get a head count for this event so please post here if you plan on attending. Thank you.

**o2_designs** · 05-02-2008, 11:02 PM

Sweet!! Wish I lived closer...

Should be interesting to see what they did to it...

I was actually starting to warm up to the new Focus too...because FS opened my eyes and make me realize what potential the 08's had...LOL

Can't wait to see..

**j20000** · 05-02-2008, 11:49 PM

I knew I should have waited a few more months.

Oh, and dang it...I'll be out there from May 11-16, I'm gonna miss it by 1 day. I lose again.

**EnixStorm** · 05-03-2008, 07:48 AM

maybe Ford will take what FocusSport has done with the foci and finally come out with a platform to rival the new srt-4, the new cobalt ss(260hp/tq turbo now) and sti/evo...

**slverfocus13** · 05-03-2008, 08:05 AM

**Duder** · 05-03-2008, 11:10 AM

Why must FS be 3000 miles away??? Can't you guys open a East Coast division

Nice to see FoMoCo is recognizing your hard work & dedication to the Fofo. Kudos to FocusSport, as we know getting Ford's attention with regards to a subcompact ain't so easy!

**BUR_ZX3** · 05-03-2008, 12:54 PM

You know I'll be there!
