#63 of 93 Re: Interesting article [scape2] by onthefarm May 26, 2008 (9:13 am)
Replying to: scape2 (May 26, 2008 8:53 am) I agree! If we always relied on the 'experts' we'd be a sorry lot. They don't get it right nearly as much as they think! Consumers are gathering their own information and having the final say. Honda & Toyota make nice cars, but but we shouldn't be brainwashed into believing it's them or nothing at all.   I thought I'd read that Focus sales were up 88% from last year...though I could be mistaken.
#64 of 93 The fuel price drove the sales of all small cars way up these days anyway! by creakid1 May 28, 2008 (4:37 pm)
#65 of 93 no ford fiesta thread yet, guess this is closest by dan5678 May 30, 2008 (2:43 pm)
Thanks, whoever at Ford decided to market the hatch version of the Fiesta in North America.   Hope the car lives up to the styling, which is quite nice. Wonder if the 5-door would be too much to hope for?
#66 of 93 Actually, there is a Fiesta discussion by pf_flyer HOST May 31, 2008 (5:15 am)

Replying to: onthefarm (May 25, 2008 5:06 pm) The 2009 Focus is not going to have the fake side vents except in the new SEL trim line for the sedan. I think the car looks better without the vent.   Also, the 2009 Focus order guide indicates that all 2009 Focus trim lines come with a 4 way manually adjustable front drivers seat.

#68 of 93 4 way seat by mschmal Jun 01, 2008 (5:21 am)
Standard on 2008 SEL and 2008 SE with Deluxe package.   Journalists at the performance rags are bashing the Focus. First I think this is an attempt to show anger at Ford for not bring the new C1 Focus over from Europe.   2nd I always read reviews with an eye toward how the vehicle is being evaluated. For instance, are they basing their opinion on a Minivan on salom speed and 0-60 times or on legitimate Minivan criteria like size and flexibility.   Now, thanks to the Internet there are lots of not traditional sources of reviews. Look for reviews that are from a point of view that reflects your expections.   For instance, I like www.familycar.com. Edmunds has http://www.edmunds.com/women/index.html

I'd like to see that myself.   I read that the refreshened Focus goes on sale this Summer; have you/anyone read of a specific date? Returned to the dealer and spoke to a sales rep who, amazingly, had no clue that the Focus was being restyled. How do you work for Ford and NOT know this? Unreal. He wasn't a newbie either--this guy has been with this particular dealership for some time. Bottom line is that beyond a sales pitch for the current model, I got no new information and I'm eager to learn more, if possible, prior to the launch.

Replying to: onthefarm (Jun 17, 2008 2:41 pm) I got the Order Guide from: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24477   You'll need to sign up with the forum to be able to download that information.   There also are order guides for other models available if you're interested in that. Just check in the other forums on the site (for example, if you want to look at the 2009 Taurus order guide, check out the Taurus and Sable forum at blueovalforums).

#72 of 93 2009 Restyle? by mschmal Jun 21, 2008 (7:08 am)
More of a 2009 styling tweek.   Just a few elements are being changed for 09.   The SES 4-door topped by an SEL trim which seems to be an a 2008 SE with deluxe package plus standard leather.   S coupe is dropped   SES coupe gets standard 17s that are optional on SES Sedan.   Coupe gets different grill and slightly different rear than sedan.   Thats it. Interiors are the same.   Mark Replies to this message: onthefarm (Jun 21, 2008 8:28 am) creakid1 (Jun 26, 2008 12:28 am)
