Does anyone know when the MyFord Touch system is going to be released in the UK??

Alot of google search pages say it was meant to be introduced late 2012 but obviously there is still no sign of it.
I ask because I really want to get the new Focus ST but I would really like to have the 8 inch touch screen that is standard in the US. The back up camera and current sat nav look really silly on the standard 4 or 5 inch screen. I think they should offer the bigger screen even if the Sync system isn't up to scratch in the UK yet

this video explains it a bit more

Okay so my car had its 3rd year service last Friday at my local ford garage, Chambers Ford in Sutton.
Picked the car up Friday afternoon and since then I have been making my 40 mile round trip to work, on main roads and M5, Tuesday, Wednesday and Today (Thursday ) so while sitting in traffic caused mainly by the snow and ice I noticed a really strong petrol/oily smell which I put down to the fact that the snow around the windscreen wipers had stopped the fresh air getting to the intake for the cabin, and was sucking air through the engine bay and the car in fronts exhaust.
However I cleared the snow and it was really bad today but still didn't think any more of it until I just got back from the gym this evening. I noticed when I put the 'guide me home' lights on and walking past the bonnet a cloud of smoke came out from the bonnet.
So I open it up and everything is covered in oil and there's no cap on the oil filler hole!!! The cap was sitting on the plastic bit around the windscreen wipers so had not been replaced after the service!!!!
So the plan is to take it back in the morning and get them to sort it out as there is hot oil over all the engine bay and the heat shield around the exhaust manifold has collected a lot of the oil which is very dangerous as the manifold obvs gets really hot!!!!!
Also it had just started to run down the bonnet and down the front bumper which I managed to get off before it stained

Just got so angry

Pics but I had screwed the cap on before I took them

Just thinking about new cars with DRL's and noticing that they dont all have separate sidelights. I was wondering if this was legal and came across this on the halfrauds website

So if you have DRL's below the headlights and they dim when the sidelights should come on, then you can use them instead of the sidelights?

Just wandering if anyone else has heard about this

Hi

Following its movie debut this Summer in the crime thriller, The Sweeney, the Police have taken such a liking to Ford’s all-new ST that they’re now evaluating it for official duties.
