alexp999 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Looks so much better with a black grill imo: http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/16/2015-ford-focus-sedan-new-york-2014/ Looking forward to see what they do with the Zetec S... EDIT: Liking the black mirrors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just found a pic with a honeycomb grill :D Really fancy a Zetec S 1.5 EcoBoost now, lol. Here is a video which also goes on to show the non touch version of the centre console: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrex Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I suspect the silvery colour one in the video would be similar to the Zetec trim we'll inevitably get. Can't say I particularly like the inside of that one in the video, all looks a bit bland and grey unfortunately. I'm not sure I like the exterior of it in the lighter colours either, especially the back. These are all American cars though, Ford always tweak them slightly for Europe despite being a "global" car so we shall see. I would be interested in a Zetec S version though which I think would suit the sleeker front end :) Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I like it! Looks better in the flesh than from the press photos. I still prefer the current Focus front though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Rumours are growing of an RS model 2017 if its true. My next car!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Found this over at FocusFanatics of a spy shot of a sport trim in China. Really hope this will be the same body kit used on the Zetec S over here, looks really good imo. If it is I think I'm sold on getting a 1.5 Ecoboost Zetec S....

mixmasterlooney Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Spy shots of the new RS dressed up in a standard body, dual exhaust outlets and what appears to be RS front bumper styling under the camo of the front end. Hearing more and more about it being a 2.3L ecoboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 It happens to be on my birthday how weird is. I am 25 and I will be 26 on the 27th of march Sent from my automated robot M1X-M4573R-700N3Y I am going to hold off for the ST Diesel version 2nd hand in a few years time. The improvements on the new facelifted version are impressive. The new line of engines I think coupled with the new finishes makes it closer to VW Golf quality, for Ford money. And I like the new front a lot more than the current model. Btw, mixmasterlooney, I was born on the 27th March as well :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassen Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Anyone know if the MK3 facelifted underpinnings will be the same as a MK2 facelifted model?What I was thinking to do is get a full set of Bilstein Eibach B12 Pro-Kit for my current 2010 MK2 1.6TDCI facelifted and in a few years time, get the St Diesel, then transfer the shocks and springs to it? Would that be something possible or not? Kinda hoping it would be :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 No MK3 was an "All-new" model. You could swap certain stuff from MK3.5 on to a MK3, but not on to a MK2 as it is a different platform. That's why we use the MK system, the main digit is the platform, the .5 indicates a facelift of said platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Some short vids showing Fords latest tech, demonstrated on the new face-lift (mk 3.5) Focus: - Advanced Park-Assist, (for perpendicular parking, as well as the already available parallel parking) - Cross Traffic Alert - SYNC 2 - Distance Alert and Indication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Saw these on my YouTube feed earlier. I wondered what the footage from the b roll I posted would be used for. Nice bit of cheesy acting in there, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ah shucks! Will just have to wait till I get the next car then - 3 years time Diesel ST in Black most probably :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinSteve Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 When is the car actually coming into showrooms? I've just sold my Focus as its warranty was up, everything was going rusty and its wheels were rotting away. I was trying to hold on for the new one as they said July, but now I've heard nothing else about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 My dealer expects demos to arrive in showrooms around September. With orders opening around the same time, possibly October. Not expecting deliveries till 2015 though. Most factories in Europe shutdown over august, then they need to retool and get ready so there should in theory be a gap between mk3 and mk3.5.

alexp999 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ford Germany spec and price list has been leaked (including Mondeo): http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/die-neue-preisliste-vom-focus-und-vom-mondeo-2015-t4992397.html Says that prices are effective 14/7/14 so maybe there will be some official news today...

The Admiral Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Love the front and looks great in that blue colour but I think they could have more with the back light's. Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinSteve Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It does look fantastic, much better than I thought when it was first unveiled. I want to see what other wheels are available as they've only shown the bigger ones off so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's sales tactics for you !, so when u see the normal wheels they know that your going to hate them ! So outcome the options list !

alexp999 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 You can see some shots of the wheels which will be available in Germany on the spec sheet linked to. I imagine we will get the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinSteve Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Oh yeah, thanks. Seems like a good range of wheels, although the ones I like don't seem to be available on Titanium spec :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
