Deanh Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 the Verve and the current Focus will overlap only for 12 months - new FOcus begins production in April 2010. And yes, the top-of-the-line Verve will be well above the base Focus. Just like the Top-Of-the-line Fusion is above the base Taurus, the Top Escape is above base Edge, top Explorer is above base Expedition, etc. Igor as good as the Verve looks now I'm chomping to see how much the Focus will push the envelope....

Imagine that, Ford with B and C cars that actually scream "buy me" on the show room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 ...it would make every other B and C car look like shit. It's already done that. Of course, that wasn't too difficult to do, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have a feeling that the 2010 Focus is going to look essentially like an upsized Verve.. but we'll see. I think that'd be a good place to take Focus styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 my hunch....top of the line Verve will be pricier than the base Focus........ I'd say you're probably right, that does happen many times (smaller high end vehicles going for more than larger low end versions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
