Default Focus Convertible article

it's tempting to say "Capri replacement" but this will be much better, and could be a big sales hit for Ford Australia, if this car is priced correctly

Hopefully it can be out here for the summer.

We better not get the 1.6L, the Duratec2.0 should be fun but it should have the XR5 engine.

The styling is farily Nth American on the rear which I'm not overly fond of.
I'm pretty certain it would be brought to Aus, I just hope that we get the superb 2.0TDCI motor. Now that would be a nice package.

Now you're just getting greedy! A convertible that could keep with the best of them!

I imagine the Yanks would be the biggest customer of such a model. It would sell reasonably well down here, especially with a lack of new Astra convertible at the moment.
