As of October 1st Ford have put focus back on motability, pretty good selection about 25 options. Active, Titanium and ST Line but no mention of Vignale 🧐 

Previously (mk4) an X meant higher spec , then afaik they changed that (mk4.5) to ST Line Vignale or Active Vignale etc. 

Very expensive compared to 3 years ago but at least they offer the 155 mh with an automatic gearbox. 
I wonder what the spec difference is, I’ll have to look at the ford website I guess , cause it’s always up to date  😳 

We have our focus ordered through motobility . Just been to look at the advance payment change massive jump! Thankfully our payment is looked at price when we ordered .   last update was car was in segmentation stage with estimated build on 13th of this month with delivery estimated for late nov . But we will see if that slips again

Hi Alex, looks like Vignale trim has been dropped already according to website. ST Line X appears to have replaced ST Line Vignale, spec looks to be similar. Website is a shambles, has images of Vignale trim models but the compare models section and configurator has replaced Vignale with X

Has it been changed back to X or is it possible the website is months maybe years out of date 🧐 I wouldn’t be surprised!

What trim have you gone for? I’ve got an extended lease on an STLX .

Looks like it's changed back to X, latest price list also refers to X

Are you waiting for a 4.5 ? I’d be interested to see if on the paperwork/website it says X or Vignale 🧐 

Few years ago the Vignale was the focus flagship.

I see. Tbh if there wasn’t an X option at the time I wouldn’t have gone with a plain ST Line. Some nice extras in the STLX , the STL Vignale I’m sure will have all you need and then some..

Hi Alex, I got my 4.5 about 4 weeks ago, ST Line Vignale 155. Only difference I can see is Vignale has chrome effect trims to lower front bumper, ST Line X appears not to

Woohoo, Car booked in for pickup week Friday

Can’t seem to get a parking extra as an option that includes a reversing camera , apart from that they seem identical

I’m not familiar with the mk4.5.

Like what I’ve seen though. Is it your STL Vignale that has chrome? The mk4 Vignale has chrome round the windows and front grille, there’s one near me in desert island blue, nice car but the STLX in blue looks better imo . in that colour at least.

Hi Alex, here's mine. Only chrome trim is to vents in front bumper.

The current price list on the website still shows a parking pack as an option on ST Line X I think it's an error on the configurator, I'd be amazed if it wasn't available. The base price of an ST Line X is almost £2000 more than an ST Line Vignale was a year ago!

Cracking! I’d have ordered one a few months ago if it was normal times. Was the blue paint expensive?

3 years ago an ST Line X, with desert island blue paint as the only extra, £28,995 

Knowing car salespeople…probably got ripped off!

List price of Desert Island Blue at the time I ordered was £725, still the same in current price list.

Worth every penny too in my opinion.

Looks lovely.

Awesome news, enjoy the car!

When did your car arrive with your dealer if you don’t mind me asking? My friends focus arrived at Dagenham over 3 weeks ago now (I think about the same time as yours looking back at previous posts) and is still sitting there, he is starting to get very annoyed (especially as he knows multiple other people who’s cars have both arrived at and left Dagenham for their dealer in that time frame).

Today, my dealer has 3 forecourts so its not at my nearest one yet but at their main branch.

Beautiful colour! 😍
If only the ST came in a blue, ideally a "Ford Performance Blue"...
I mean, ANY blue option would have been nice! 🙄

Slightly off topic, but where does this info display? Fords website, or Sandicliffes?
I got an email inviting me to sign up for a Ford account, yet nothing is showing there still. I ordered 2 weeks ago. Nothing from Sandicliffe yet (not expecting anything anytime soon, mind)

I too have ordered from Sandicliffe Nottingham 😁

Looks like my ST Line Vignale is still in Saarlouis. Hope this timeline works out and it'll be at the dealer by end of the month. I'm honestly not that bothered now. Got the deal using a Ford discount (I work for JLR). The prices quoted now, even with discount, are unbelievable. If it means I wait a little longer then so be it.
