An all-new version of one of the UK’s most popular cars is to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in less than a month. And in a rather striking dark yellow, here it is. Fleet operators who use the Ford Focus as a workhorse for their company car drivers will be watching keenly. The private buyers who love the Focus for its mix of style and excellent dynamics will also be paying attention. And you, the performance car fans, should also be interested because this will form the basis of all-new warm ST and hot RS models. Paris will see the launch of the five-door and estate derivatives, due on sale in the spring around the time of the new 11-reg plate. But my sources say there will be announcements about sporting variants on Press Day. That’s Thursday 30 September, so mark it in your diary. So what of the car? Assuming it drives as well as every other Ford of recent years, it will undoubtedly be a big success. The lines of the smaller Fiesta are clearer visible in the newcomer, especially at the rear end. And maybe that yellow will grow on me. Or maybe not.
