Default Geneva 2008: Ford Focus CC

The Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet is to get a makeover in line with the recently-revised Focus hatchbacks.

The new CC gets the new front-end design with restyled grille, bumper, bonnet, headlights and wings, with chrome trim, and interior finish revised for a higher-quality look and feel. There are new red-lit instruments, a larger central console and a sliding armrest.

New options will include keyless entry/ignition, a tyre pressure monitor, uprated Bluetooth/USB connectivity, new navigation systems and a digital radio tuner.

The Focus Coupe-Cabriolet - which is built for Ford by Pininfarina in Italy - will come this year with 1.6 (100bhp), 2.0 (145bhp) and 2.0 TDCi diesel (136bhp) engines; the diesel has been revised for better sound-proofing.

Options packs will include Sport, with lowered suspension, new 17" alloys and black-tinted headlamp housings, and Titanium, with 17" alloys, the black-tinted headlamp housings and part-leather seats; full leather upholstery is also available.

I don't know how well this car sells, but I've only seen two, one on a Ford Dealership forecourt the other in Birmingham when I was up there, I don't think its as funky looking as the French rivals

It doesnt. What it needs is one more part in the roof so you can trim down that butt, now it's a 2-part-design and its simply too long.
