wow thats awesome, i cant wait to see what kind of changes theyve made!!!

**ZX3autoxtasy** · 05-03-2008, 01:22 PM

i wonder if this is the car i saw at a marketing research thing for ford a few months ago.

If it is: Don't miss this if your within a 3 hour drive

**bigdaddyzx3** · 05-03-2008, 03:47 PM

I might just have to make the trek down for this.

BTW, Way to go FocusSport... it is no small thing that they chose you guys to do this with. They could do it anywhere, so you must be doing something right!

Not that FJ didn't already know that!

**ClintB1321** · 05-03-2008, 05:10 PM

i should be there

**6spd_RS** · 05-03-2008, 06:40 PM

<- starts walking south-west...

**focuspl99** · 05-03-2008, 06:55 PM

i thought this was going to be a rickroll but then i saw the topic starter and im like "our benevolant dictator woudlnt be reduced to childish rick astley pranks" lol

needless to say, im excited

**wilko** · 05-03-2008, 08:21 PM

I wonder what it will look like?

Cant help but feel a little burnt by Ford for getting an 08. Well this will be the last time I buy a car in its first model year.

I am happy to hear the good news, but my car is already old news.

Hooray... I think

**GapBoyPCS** · 05-03-2008, 08:38 PM

Didn't one place report that 09 will see rear headrests and Advance-Trac?

If so...and those options make it on this side of the border...I'm sold.

**MattZTS** · 05-03-2008, 08:54 PM

will pictures be up promptly after? you know for those of us no where near cali.

**zx3lova** · 05-03-2008, 09:41 PM

stability control is set in stone because it is REQUIRED on ALL cars in the US come 2010, to me this just means their will be a 2010 version of this focus.

and yea i think they need a simultaneous east coast revealing!

I would find it very interesting if ford makes it a “transitional” styling change to make the car evolve to be more along the lines of the EU fords….

by wilko

As I said before the general body lines look like that WAS what ford was going for, but someone decided to “Americanize” the front end to better match the front of the fusion. The overall 2008 focus COULD look allot like the new 08 C1 focus if they just revise the front end styling a bit.

**frdfocszx3** · 05-03-2008, 11:15 PM

can't wait to see the pics.

**focuspl99** · 05-04-2008, 03:49 AM

so since its being unveiled at FS, maybe Randy and company were asked in advance how to make the car nicer?!? aka get rid of the chrome fender things lol

it would be nice to see a sleeker, smoother focus, or maybe an SVT version again someday! (wishful thinking)

**imprtslyr0223** · 05-04-2008, 09:50 AM

So is this going to be only a facelift or are there going to be mechanical changes...maybe, just maybe there will be a 2.3 duratec again. As for aesthetics, I'm thinking no more chrome, maybe a more sporty version with lower suspension and bigger wheels, definitely i hope rear head rests and oh ***** handles. And I hope they offer the same orange that FS painted their STC focus.

**Mr. Zetec** · 05-04-2008, 12:29 PM

Is this it?

**focuspl99** · 05-04-2008, 12:51 PM

^ that truly is wishful thinking

if that were it i'd probably be back into a focus lol.....

**DarkHorse** · 05-04-2008, 12:54 PM

Why has no one mentioned a FS turbocharged version? The reveal is being done at their headquarters, and they won best design by Ford at SEMA didn't they? Hmm......

I'm not too sure they'd go to the trouble of doing this special event if it was.

**jinstall** · 05-04-2008, 01:10 PM

Hmmm I take it 2008 sales are not good.

Also it seems that Ford will release a performance 2009 Focus at FS to reward them for their efforts.

**Mr. Zetec** · 05-04-2008, 01:29 PM

Hopefully there is a hatch version

**focaljet-1** · 05-04-2008, 01:31 PM

The 2008 Focus is selling very well. The '09 is a restyle. Expect reworked front and rear fascias that will address some of the concerns leveled against the current car. I've heard it looks good.

I don't expect any mechanical changes. But, the fact that Ford has moved so swiftly to take into account feedback, proves that they are listening.
