Ford Focus New Generation

2008 Ford Focus - In Tune With the New Generation

The seats are comfortable and protective even for long distance driving. The steering wheel is wrapped in leather for better and precise driving. The most startling addition to the 2008 Focus is the Sync system. This high-tech system allows the owner to make hands-free calls while driving. The 2008 Ford Focus now comes in coupe or sedan cars. Its SE cars' alloy wheels are a standard 15-inch, while the SES versions have 16-inch alloy wheels.

The 2008 Ford Focus has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that provides 140 horsepower. It also has a five-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. A silent drive can be expected in the 2008 Ford Focus whether in the city streets or on the highways. Ford has certainly succeeded in overhauling its Focus models including making Ford Focus contract hire popular.

Short Take - 2009 Ford Focus

Clearly, Ford must have been thinking that North American consumers wouldn't mind the design difference.

Ford Focus Sales Are Way Up
Beginning with the 2008 model year, new technology from Microsoft began to find its way into most Ford models. Available exclusively on 2008 model year Lincoln, Ford, and Mercury products, SYNC has been successfully marketed by Ford to draw attention to their product line including to the youth-oriented Focus.

Changes For 2009
Every Focus comes equipped with air-conditioning, six standard airbags, and a CD/MP3 player.

The current iteration of the Focus will soldier on through the 2010 model year before an all-new model is rolled out. As part of the company's "One Ford" plan, the automaker will introduce six European models to the American market beginning in 2009including the next generation Focus and the Fiesta, a car that is smaller than the Focus and able to deliver at least 40 mpg on the highway.

Whether you buy a Ford Focus or not, the car's success is built on technological improvements and smart marketing.
