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? |

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 |

Replying to: capella (May 31, 2008 9:45 pm) Cap, where did you view this '09 order guide so soon? 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.

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).

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
