That wouldn't be because you pretty much already have the same front end?Gigi said:I really, really like the new look of the front end.
Yep! You bet'cha!unplugged said:That wouldn't be because you pretty much already have the same front end?Gigi said:I really, really like the new look of the front end.:roll:
Because this is what the next FFE will look like, or at least be based on.Hugh said:What does this have to do with the FFE?
I'm disappointed to not hear anything about a Focus Energi as well. I hope that the rumors are true. Especially if it had 30+ miles of EV range instead of the ~21 of the current Energi models.cta4762 said:I'm disappointed. I had read the internet rumor about a 2015 Focus Energi.
I sure hope that Ford does expand their PHEV/BEV/hybrid offerings to more vehicles. I've done extensive analysis of the FFH powertrain and they did an excellent job. By expanding the vehicle classes with a hybrid/PHEV/BEV option Ford can become a leader in electrified powertrains ahead of other automakers.jachady said:Word is the Edge Energi will have a 25 mile range, and that it's a programming change that Ford will be offering to previous CMax and Fusion Energi owners. I haven't heard anything concrete on a Focus Energi but my owner said in a meeting that they mentioned Focus Energi and Hybrid.

Well the new ICE version won't be available until fall. It could just be the time to change over the FFE after they've done the ICE version.unplugged said:I heard, for some odd reason the new model won't be released until early 2015.
You really think it takes 4 to 5 months to "change over" an FFE that has no changes? If you recall, I was the one leading the "charge" in saying the FFE would have no major exterior changes because it already had the new "look", but I thought at least the hood would change. Now, I find out that the 2015 FFE won't be released until 4 or 5 months (at the least) after the traditional model year change over.jmueller065 said:Well the new ICE version won't be available until fall.

In some ways yes and some ways no: The auto industry can move at a snails pace sometimes.unplugged said:You really think it takes 4 to 5 months to "change over" an FFE that has no changes?
3. Will there be more than one trim level for 2015 Focus Electric? Current images show one with black lower cladding and another with cladding pained body color.
Focus Electric will continue to offer a single well-contented trim which includes a 6.6kW on-board charger, the award-winning MyFord Mobile app and website integration, premium Sony audio, and a 100% recycled interior seat fabric. Some images are not final production images.
I love how the answer is never "no", but rather they spin the negative into a false positive.
I laughed too when reading it. Very disappointing.jmueller065 said:Wow! That Q&A just confirms what we have been seeing all along: No changes.
Even worse: None of the questions are actually answered! LOL An example:

The next comment in the thread says it all:

Funny, I took my own advice and asked Ford directly about the 2015 Focus Electric changes. I was specifically interested in the CCS capability. So I have good news and bad news.jmueller065 said:Wow! That Q&A just confirms what we have been seeing all along: No changes.
