identify Phillipine as the manufacturing base for ASEAN region. Ford
Focus and Mazda3 will be made in Phillipines for Singapore, Thailand,
Malaysia and Indonesia.
Let's hope this is the beginning to better days for us Ford lovers. I
personnaly drive a Mazda but am a fan of European Ford model.

bot car look the same but the new is more tame.
If you are a fan of Ford, you probably wonder what is Ford doin to the
brand in Malaysia. They are only interested to sell 4x4. Same goes to
Mazda. Let's just hope this time its real.

also la. handling should be superb also, but dunno yet, have to wait n c.
but surely replacing rs liao. sob..sob.. my car is phasing out. get to
know this through the sales exec in pj(dunno true not la). keke.
bout ford car mkt, think this should be the breaking point for them to
reestablish their car mkt in m'sia that is once so great with their tx3.
let's c how it goes.

In fact, Ford just launched the 1.6 Focus sedan version in Singapore
recently. From the specs. sheet, the power is quite low for a 1.6.
If Ford is going to launch focus to replace Lynx, i guess it should be
the 1.8 & 2.0lt version.
Yes, the new Focus looks quite similar to the old one but the rear
is more slanted compared to the old one which a curve.
From my opinion, it is sportier .

S'pore, people sell big cars with small engine capacities & power outputs
for competitive pricing.
Hope the 125 bhp 1.8 or at least 113 bhp 1.6 sedan comes to town.

with "Durashift" at S$77,900! Saw the car, price will be "Gila" when come
to Malaysia? Internal build quality damn solid, the instrumentation top
class! External a bid squarish but unmistakably a FOCUS!
