I know… I can’t believe I said that either. I was never a fan of the Ford Focus but I definitely did a double take when I saw the 2012 Ford Focus ($TBA; Early 2011) . This re-imagined descendant of Escort will boast an electric power assist system, Dynamic Cornering Control, the Sync connectivity package with an 8-inch MyFord touch-based control panel in pricier models, a new 2.0-liter DI Ti-VCT engine, and a dry-clutch six-speed Ford PowerShift automatic transmission.
If you feel the need for a hybrid don’t worry, Ford will also offer a fully battery powered electric version, with a driving range of 80-100 miles.
