I want one.

me too. but ford won't sell it so i'll just find another hatch with equal hp, torque, and hopefully less wait. oh. golf tdi. score. It’s not electric but at least it’s going on sale next month.
Steve 2:49PM (9/18/2009)
What do you mean? Yes Ford will sell you one. The 2010 Focus will have a BEV version in North America. It will be available in early 2011.
Pip 4:45PM (9/18/2009)
Will it be the 300+ HP version everyone wants or the other version that no one wants?
zamafir 6:19PM (9/18/2009)
@steve, now, this year, before it ends, not 2 years from now. 2011~2012 is the watershed year EVERYONE will be selling electric cars. Ford, Nissan, VW, damn near everyone's focusing on that 2011~2012 period.

This got me thinking, will Jay have a Stig?

Redline 1:51PM (9/18/2009)
Maybe Jay is the Stig? Or American Stig?
ack154 2:32PM (9/18/2009)
I doubt that... his lap time on Top Gear really wasn't that good (compared to what most people probably expected).
izorro 2:45PM (9/18/2009)
Well the best people were...tiny compared to Jay...and in a car like that...the tiny people have the bigger advantage.

Looks like an updated Aspire.

Mark 12:53PM (9/18/2009)
Not even close.
C.W. 1:21PM (9/18/2009)
if by 'aspire' you mean 'sexy, hot, european hatch' then yes.... i agree.
Luis 1:59PM (9/18/2009)
No, I mean like slightly larger, tighter Ford Aspire:

You can 1-star me all you want and not believe it, but that's what it looks like.
ack154 2:33PM (9/18/2009)
Other than being the general shape of a 5 door... it looks NOTHING like the Aspire.
C.W. 2:47PM (9/18/2009)
haha. you posting that link to the picture of the aspire just reinforced exactly why you have 1/2 a star rating on all your comments....
Luis 3:12PM (9/18/2009)
Whatever. You fanboys can down-rate all you want, but it still looks like an Aspire.
FWIW the last USDM Focus 5-door did NOT look like an Aspire.
Tohe 2:21AM (9/19/2009)
Luis dude, you need to take an Aspir-in.
bozzakwebmaster 12:43PM (9/18/2009)
Interesting how it only took them two months this awesome looking electric car - but have yet to release one in production.
Release it to the public christ!

Interesting? Nope. Predictable when it doesn't have to meet certain budgets needed to sell it in volume? Yup. Apples to oranges man. one off for a tv show vs production car are two entirely different notions. i love this car, the looks, the golf tdi levels of power, decent range, but it's not costing
Steve 2:53PM (9/18/2009)
Gotta finish the assembly plant first! Gonna build it right here in Michigan at what was the Michigan Truck plant in Wayne.
