We found an interesting article from Ford in the News that
we wanted to share. “Ford
Focus Titanium Sticks to Successful Formula” provides readers with a review
of the 2012
Ford Focus Titanium and all of the great features that are included. An
interesting point of the article was that many customers actually wanted a
manual transmission in the car instead of the six-speed PowerShift automatic
transmission. Take a look:
Packed with premium content and offering a slew of impressive
upgrades, the Ford Focus Titanium has become a notable success by offering
customers exactly what they want in an upscale and efficient compact package.
So when Ford found out that a significant number of customers actually wanted a
manual transmission in the car, the company gave them that, too: After
initially offering the Focus Titanium solely with its six-speed PowerShift
automatic transmission, Ford soon will bring a five-speed manual gearbox into
play.
Although the decision may seem
counterintuitive at first, Ford says it’s a recognition of marketplace
realities: Many Focus Titanium buyers are coming to the vehicle from upscale
rivals that target enthusiasts by combining creature comforts with the kind of
dynamic driving experience that’s only available with three pedals, and these
shoppers expect the same from the Blue Oval. In meeting this customer demand,
Ford will add a new dimension to the Focus Titanium’s already athletic
demeanor, which features both a sport-tuned suspension—with standard rear
stabilizer bar—and an available Titanium Handling Package that tightens things
up even further.

Of course, the Focus Titanium also will continue to offer
technologies and luxuries like:
§ The latest generation of SYNC
with MyFord Touch
§ A comprehensive Parking
Technology Package with rearview camera, ultrasonic sensors and Active Park
Assist—capable of helping automatically parallel park the Focus Titanium in as
few as 24 seconds
§ Torque Vectoring Control,
for improved cornering
§ Heated front seats and
dual-zone climate controls
§ Ford’s Intelligent Access
system with push-button start
§ Ambient lighting
§ A 10-speaker premium Sony
sound system with a subwoofer and 355 watts of power
§ 18-inch aluminum-alloy
wheels
The five-speed manual transmission is slated
to become available with the Ford Focus Titanium later this year.
