Pre-production, man, pretty much to be expected.

Some folks (yourself included) have been talking about the grill and front fascia of the ST.. So I guess my point is that if ya live in the States, we can't be too sure what you're getting.

Also, I hope the "Available Recaro™ leather-trimmed sport seats" make it to production. It wasn't until the Boss that we saw them in an s197 Mustang.

I think the changes will be minimal (such as HID headlights on the Euro model and not on US models).

Agreed. the headlights and the shape of the license plate holder are the only visible external changes from Euro to US on the volume Focus models.

I'd bet the HIDs and Recaros are standard on the Euro model, optional on US-spec.

Grrr it still bugs me that Ford killed off the Focus wagon back in '05 (we were going to order one, went with a Freestyle instead since the Focus wagon was discontinued ) and that they are making a new Focus wagon, just not for the US. If they would bring over the new Focus wagon (and equip it with a manual trans) it would almost surely be our next family car. I'll take a look at the C-Max, but would prefer a traditional wagon, and the C-Max isn't going to be available with a manual trans in the US (but it will overseas).

Focus wagon wasn't selling, and Ford research says a new Focus wagon won't sell. Can't really blame Ford for not bringing something here that won't sell.

Kinda' interesting that they chose to put it right up in front with the other versions at the NAIAS though if they know they wont be offering it. I wonder if this was a tease intended to indicate that they are at least thinking about it.

I was actually considering trading in my Acura for the new Focus, but Ford lost my business since they think that people who want options DON'T want a manual transmission. Oh well
