Definately worth checking out.Links!Specs & OptionsColor & TrimFord Focus XR5 Turbo Film - very nice With the cars being distributed around AU and details finally it's time to get excited.

Fortunately it was succsessful which means more goodies for the next all new model, since now they know what its all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look over at www.ford.de. Looks like they just changed the badging to me. A tempting 'downgrade' now that petrol prices are on the rise.

I imagine it would be a good drive.Yes, it is German and runs the Volvo motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if the edit could get it up to about 200 FWKW, that you be pretty insane in a front wheel drive car! HEHE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
