I still would have preferred to see a Focus Wagon come here than to bring the Euro Kuga as the next Escape, well they could sell both, but the Focus wagon has a greater cargo volume despite being lower to the ground and lighter as well.

I have another for this thread; we received a FG SFE this week. I believe this is only the second SFE I've seen in person, the other being the same colour.

I dig this color! I think frosted glass and blue candy are my favorite!

I don't have a direct side on shot that wasn't cropped/ focused on the windows from that day so I'd have to shoot some more some other time.



That is the nearest thing I have to a side on shot from that day. I took a perfect side on shot from before, but for some reason in my excitement I didn't take one identical afterwards, it didn't help that they parked the car sideways on an angle as well.

That looks good, no need to go crazy. I'll have some next week...

There were a lot more sedans than hatches, but over all there were also far more Frosted Glass Foci than there were Yellow Blaze, yet only a difference between about 1% to about 5-6% of the total produced as far as I can tell.

18569 Frosted Glass Foci were produced in 2012.

11774 of which were sedans

6795 of which were hatchbacks.

So given that it was only the SE or SEL that really narrows it down a bit.

It was kind of hard to hear what the guy was saying on the phone as it sounded like he said the total was x, but then he added sedan on the end of the first one afaik.

Here is a photograph taken just outside of the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant.



Here is the Famous plinth in front of the plant where the chosen few lucky cars get shown off to the world before being put on sale, with my car in the foreground. Unfortunately there was no car on the plinth at the time.




A better picture of the Michigan Assembly plant sign and my poor dirty car. The weather hasn't been kind to her as of late.
