Car and Driver recently sat down with Ford marketing chief Jim Farley, and when the subject of the Blue Oval's long awaited next-gen global Focus came up, Black Sheep's first cousin came up with the number 10. That's 10 as in the number of Focus variants we might expect here in the U.S. While Farley didn't go too far into which Focus variants will be available here, the list isn't difficult to guess.

One vehicle that we know has been given the green light for sale here in the U.S. is the Focus C-Max and Grand C-Max minivan, which will come in five- and seven-seat variations. Then there's the sedan and coupe, three- and five-door hatch, the promised Electric Focus, the Kuga crossover and possibly Lincoln and Mercury versions that will utilize Ford's global C-Segment platform. The next couple of years will be pretty interesting for Ford as it finally gets serious about small cars here in the U.S. With 10 Focus-based vehicles and an excellent new Fiesta, customers will finally have some solid small car choices from which to choose. The new Focus we've all been waiting for should make its global debut at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show in January, so stay tuned.

 

i think im happier with just the fact the euro spec focus is coming here. call me crazy, but im just not digging the rest of the euro line up, i only dig the euro spec focus. dont get me wrong they look good, but just not diggin them.

 

I just wanna see 2.0L EcoBoost (230 hp, 240 lb ft torque) in a Focus coupe.

 

Good to see another wagon version. I was bummed when Ford cut the ZXW. It was really functional for a small family that wants fuel economy mixed with versatility.

 

Wouldn't that be tasty??

 

i concur!
