The brand new 2012 Ford Focus will be with us soon and will feature plenty of upgrades from previous models of the car. The first and possibly most interesting change that is being made to the series is the combining  the North American and International versions the of the car. This means that the models you see worldwide will all be the same. The new Ford Focus 2012 will also be referred to as the MK3 or Ford Focus MK3, mainly due to the change in the model being made available everywhere. This will be the first car that Ford has ever developed as a truly global product under the Ford banner.

The Ford Focus has long been a pillar in the fleet of cars that Ford has produced, the Focus is both reliable and priced within a decent range to allow for a lot of people to not only want to, but to be able to get their hands on one. These new additions to the 2012 Ford focus fleet will be no exception to that rule as they come with a powerful yet economic engine across the range, along with several other unique and desirable additions across the board.
