2012 Ford Focus is Already Earning Awards

It has been only a few days since the unveiling of the all-new 2012 Ford Focus, but already the car has won its first award. According to the team at AutoWeek, the 2012 Ford Focus is the “Most Significant” vehicle of the Detroit Auto Show. While this may not necessarily be the most prestigious honor, it does bode well for the Focus considering it will not even be seen in showrooms until early next year.

The award was given by the editorial staff of AutoWeek which voted unanimously that the 2012 Focus is exactly what Ford enthusiasts have wanted. The European sportiness and styling, not to mention the new Focus’ assortment of technologies and overall quality, is what truly impressed the team at AutoWeek.
Ford enthusiasts have been craving the European version of the Focus for years, and finally Ford will be bringing it here as the automaker strives to produce a more singular global product lineup. With this new Ford Focus, small car consumers will enjoy not only the fresh styling, but also the combination of more affordable technologies and impressive fuel economy which Ford believes will provide an improved quality of driving even for those buying a car on a budget.

According to Ford’s group VP of Global Product Development, “The new Focus is…what we believe a global Ford product should be – great to look at, great to sit in and great to drive. This is truly One Ford in action.”

Part of this new strategy has already brought Europe’s popular Ford Fiesta compact here to the U.S., which is scheduled to go on sale this summer. With the Euro-inspired Focus coming here as well, Ford fans will no longer have to crave what they can’t have.

The 2012 Focus is really growing on me. My parents are looking to possibly dump the Jetta and get one a few months after they come out. Still waiting to see the performance model ;D

So will it become a 3 focus family?

Hope so! The current V'dubs seem to really have POS quality which is sad because the 5 other VW's we've had in the family before were perfect. Also both dealers suck now as far as customer service go. My sisters conv. Beetle is an '05 with only just over 30,000 on the odometer, reason is it visits the dealer more than the road. The '07 Jetta just rattles and rackets more than my '01 Focus with 4 times the miliage. I could go on and on about VW but I'll stop before I get started. Sorry for little rant.

LOL and I thought that VW's was such a good car

The electrical on my dad's 2004.5 TDI Jetta is falling apart. The wiring harness in the drivers door for all the locks, windows and lighting died on him. After he took it all apart, he discovered the wires had rubbed so much that they were all shorted out. Not to mention the price of parts.

I'll never buy a VeeDubyah for this reason..

Ford is the only way to go!!!!!!!
