I’m posting this a few hours early because on Thursday morning I’ll be busy at the Autosport Show so unable to blog. Talking of shows, it’s been the big bash in Detroit this week and car debuts don’t get much more important than an all-new Ford Focus. Showing elements of the styling that’s made the Fiesta a massive hit, the newcomer (above) won’t arrive in the UK until this time next year. The chassis on which it’s built will form the basis for 10 models, including an estate and convertible, plus two new versions each of the C-MAX people carrier and Kuga SUV. Bosses are talking about a 10-20 per cent cut in fuel use compared with the outgoing Focus, which will be an impressive achievement. Can’t wait.
* More on the Autosport Show on Monday.
