New features, 2012 Focus.

Found some new things that Ford hasn't said anything about on the 2012 Focus!

Heated steering wheel, A/C seats.

This car is just packed with technology.

Heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel, Nav, on SFE pack an adjustable front grill that opens and closes based on engine cooling needs but closes when not needed to get better fuel economy. Its going to be an expensive compact but should be a joy to drive.

Knight, what package is the heated steering wheel in? I know about the heated seats, but I haven't see the wheel. Ditto with the cooled seats, didn't know that one either. Did they update the ordering guide??

Oh right, the Titanium Package which is auto only, because Ford obviously thinks that people who drive stick shift cars don't want luxury features too. Oh well, I'll just have to live with what I can get on a Focus SE I guess.

I know I double checked the order guide this morning too, the order guides get updated as information is released.

My Frontline (online version) page 11 shows MyFord Touch and safety features...hmmm...Oh, I bet those are features found on the EuroFocus..some of these pictures are still Euro market vehicles..You can also get InstaClear windscreen on the Euro version.
They have had a higher level of equipment over there for quite a while..class-wise, that is.

You can download a EuroFocus preview brochure here...

Thinking more about the AC seats, the picture showing a MyTouch equipped Focus undoubtably is an interior "buck" used to shoot promotional pictures, like you would see in a brochure, who is to say that they didn't take a screen from an Edge-MKX just for illustration purposes. Just some food for thought. Always rememeber the old adage "Photos are of preproduction vehicles and are subject to change" LOL
