Hi mates,

car magazines here made comments about one possibility that Ford Brazil will produce in 2007 the our Focus MKII iqual in European model, not iqual the american model...

by the way, what´s the american model? isn´t iqual the European model?

any brazilian consumer failed american model :dunno: , and this market is very important here...our current model is old-fashioned in 2 years (in comparison with european model)....

acconding to information the engines are these: 1,6 16v (115cv), 2,0 16v (147cv) and 2,5 T5 (225 cv), they announced that american and canada model will be one model local with plataform of Volvo S40 and V50, but the european model already use it plataform in your model, I don´t understand it :confused: ...is´t ok?

not sure about the brazillian model, but based on your engine options and the 2.5 T5 option, i'd say you are getting the european based C1 platform that the Focus MkII is built on. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones. As the N.A. focus remains the MkI with slight exterior changes and a 2.3 I4 for the ST model.
