Ford of Switzerland releases Focus RS WRC (And it's not what you're thinking)
Ford’s Swiss division has launched the Ford Focus WRC Edition, and first thing’s first, let me clarify that this is not a WRC racing car. It is just a special edition of the Ford Focus RS, made to celebrate 40 years of the RS division.
Next generation Ford Focus debuts in Detroit!

Car of the Year Nominees: Part 4
This is the most important part of the nominees list. This where the the Car of the Year nominees are listed. It’s not the longest list of nominees, but choosing should be hard, as all the contenders are quite good ones.
Car of the Year
Yes, this is the big one. The best car of the year. This must excel in everything. It should be able to satisfy the little child in you, while taking you shopping and your children to school safely and comfortably. Price shouldn’t be too high either.
Volkswagen Golf: Great looks, plenty of practicality, comfortable and it’s good fun, especially in GTI form.
Mazda3: The new small Mazda is based on the Ford Focus so it drives brilliantly. It’s also cheaper than the Ford, it’s built with the same quality and it looks good.
Vauxhall/Opel Astra: As they did with the Insignia, Opel/Vauxhall broke tradition (one more time) with the new Astra, giving it a modern design.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Alex isn’t a fan of the styling but the new E-Class offers a very complete package combined with classic Mercedes quality.
There you are then. All the nominees are now out there. We’ll be working on picking out the best of the best to bring you the winners. We’re already running into arguments, so it won’t be easy and we can’t predict when the winners will be released.
10 Ford Focus Variants Coming to the US
Car and Driver recently had a talk with Ford’s marketing chief Jim Farley, and part of this talk was a discussion about the next generation Ford Focus. According to Farley, there will be 10 variants of Focus coming to the US, and presumably the rest of North America.
Some of the variants given the green light for sales over here include the C-Max and Grand C-Max, which will come in five and seven-seat variants. Then there will be a sedan and coupe Focus (Possibly a convertible), as well as three and five door variants. An electric version has been promised too. The Kuga is probably another one of them, and Mercury and Lincoln versions are a possibility. Ford is getting pretty serious about small cars in North America, with these 10 Focus based cars as well as the upcoming Fiesta. This new Focus should make its debut at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show in January.
I just hope that they finally give us an RS Ford in the form of a Focus RS.
