It looks like the new Ford Ranger isn’t the only car that Sime Darby Auto ConneXion will be busy with this year – a LYN forumer redbull_y2k posted these two pictures of a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium at what appears to be a Chinese New Year Lion Dance program at the SDAC PJ 3S center.
What do you think – looks pretty good eh? I’m not sure what this means though in terms of launch date, as SDAC has a history of bringing in future models for different purposes way before the actual launch date.
For example, before the Fiesta was launched, they brought in a 1.4 liter automatic unit from Singapore for teaser roadshows and we even reviewed that particular car in Driven.
Later, customers also reported sighting the Mondeo EcoBoost and S-MAX EcoBoost at the same PJ 3S center way before the launch.

.. proton tuah 1.6 turbo vs ford focus titanium…..
How to compare? Ford is 1 class higher than P1 here but due to selling price, P1 sales will sure win while the Ford is literally the better car. I can tell by the plastic on each cars.. Lol..
plastic, so what about ford, metal? all dashboard is using plastic too, it just matter of design only whether beautiful or not
Haha, proton supporter, can’t you understand what is he saying in his post? He mean the quality of plastic in both cars, not proton is made of plastic. -.-
Indeed…he know how to differentiate Thailand plastic in Focus from Malaysian plastic in P1 recycled from Bukit Tagar landfill hehehe
VW pls bring the Golf R and Rocco R to show them what is a real performance car !
VW is rubbish!
I love VW.
if VW brings in those 2 cars..will u go buy it?
really can’t stand people who like to compare something superior (ford) to something really inferior.
superior (ford) ?
as u wish good luck …
leave it to fiesta to compete wit proton buah eh.. kuah eh.. tuah!
i already calc fiesta 1.6 sport price with all tax…RM60221.70(CIF value: RM31284)
rear end looks ok, front the air damp looks too big ^^
yeah the triangle air vent makes it look ugly..but the rear is better than old one
if the price right, sure it can sell like a hot cake..
more interesting for the c-segment car market this year!!!
The Fiesta’s B-Segment.
At least 120k. But sure in the Honda Civic range. Yes, these turbo 1.6 will eat 2.0L Civic. Om nom nom..
bring the sedan as well
its a looker i must admit. but when come to 2nd hand value and spare parts, ford branded car still doesn’t make sense in bolehland.
i’m sure you dont have a ford… rite?
I doubt that. It’s not like jap cars are cheap to maintain anyway. When you break it down, it’s pretty much the same to some extend.
the discussion about RV is surely aimed at toyota, honda, etc. these brands are slowly being eaten alive by the contis and koreans.
i’m guessing resale value of those contis and koreans will increase in time to come and toyota, honda, etc will be left in the dust.
increase in time? If only they really look into their own issues. My friend’s Forte can’t even start her engine after only 1 year purchase, worst thing is that service center can’t fix it after 3 weeks, excuse is “sorry too much Forte facing same problem, no stock”……………….either they are telling the truth —- Forte has many problem or their management is very very poor.
I must say u hv a typical bolehland mentality
Good, another Proton ‘tuah’ competitor. Exciting 2012!
rear reminds me of ultraman’s face.lol.i dunno y
coz u watch too much of ultraman lol
Hhhhhmmmmm……. I want the ST ….!
FFS, what Tuah competitor or what not. This is on par with a VW Golf but mostly will fall around the price range of a Honda Civic.
Tuah competes against Myvi 1.5L, Forte, City, Vios, etc etc.
People who buy this are those who were thinking of Civic, Altis or VW Golf.
quite a good looking car except for the weird triangular air vents in the front :(
Britain best selling car over a decade, with 275 car an hour
are you fucking nuts ?
275 car an hour ? not even general motor can achieve that fucking figure in US …
Proton’s also using one of these for their benchmarking for the Tuah. It’s about time SDAC brought it in, every other country has been heaping praise on it.

betul tak kawan2?
kereta.. bukan mobil……
spot on…….best selling car and i’m drive one. Love every minutes of it.
Looks much sexier compared to the current generation of Focus but from the pictures, it also looks pretty small probably sitting somewhere between the borderline of B- and C-segment car. The current generation of Focus is big, spacious and the soft touch plastics…oh la la.
Wow..
so many keyboard warrior..
Type2.. comment2.. kutuk2.. mengata2..
at end beli nya tidak..
new NATO: no action type only :)
Sweeeeeeet!!i like :-)
It would look better if the rims are 1 inch bigger. Just saying.
ppl with the strong financial background will go for better quality machine…..unless those just want a simple machine will go for P1…:P
People with strong financial b-ground only buy Augusta Westland helicopter…Gulfstream jetliner….Ferreti luxury yacht….wasting time buying car better rent it only….
The overseas Focus had loads of tech n safety features in it…pls dun bring in a Focus with 1/2 of the features!
this new ford focus are from US design. not a europe design..wow!
looking forward for its 1.0L ecoboost.. hp of a 1.6, torque of a 1.8, road tax of a kelisa … kekekke.. fc can fight hybrid cars .. ;)
Hey Paul, No new season of DRIVEN? Benn waiting for it for a long long long time? BTW this focus is a nice looking car, hope it wears an ecoboost engine as well.
I want the SuperCharger Satria Neo R3 Lotus with the Proton Tuah gadgetaries (But keep the gearbox manual)! Hopefully it will happen in 2012. :(
I love the new design which makes the car looks more muscular. :)
What are the spec? Does it really come with Ecoboost + Powershift?
Checked out Ford Spore website and it listed the Focus with 1.6 NA and 4 speed auto only tho another website mentioned the 1.6 NA with Titanium trim comes with Powershift and Ecoboost is available in manual tranny.
rear is nice, front err.. dull n boring. ford = boring.
Bring in the eco Lpi engine with Orbital tech in it and it will make a lot of difference. It seems that Ford still have lots of surprises at bay.
