Ford Reveals 2008 Focus

 

The 2008 model year Focus was completely restyled. It was unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. The 2008 Focus is a 2- or 4-door, 5-passenger family coupe, or family sedan, available in 6 trims, ranging from the S Coupe to the SES Sedan. Ford Focus brings an expressive look, a refined and flexible interior and a higher level of driving enjoyment to an evolving small car market.

“The 2008 Focus offers a 2.0 liter, Duratec 20 dual overhead cam, inline four cylinder engines producing an estimated 136 hp. The new engine also offers improved air intake system, cooling and exhaust system are designed to improve the smoothness, efficiency, and response of the power train.”

It features a redesigned cabin delivers improved craftsmanship and comfort along with added flexibility and storage. A new suspension tuning and chassis refinements improve an already rewarding and dynamic driving experience. Improvements to sealing and sound deadening materials reduce noise, vibration and harshness levels, providing a quiet, comfortable ride. And a redesigned and retuned suspension for improved ride and handling, and a more powerful engine that delivers fuel economy in the mid-30s. It also offers high level of in-car connectivity for mobile phones and media players.

I can say that the interior looks pretty good; I hope it stays that way. It doesn't look bad. It looks like they have made major improvements to this model compared to the last generation in every aspect of the car.
