Well I was considering something along similar lines, but the high price for spare parts is a big turn off. For 185K, that's recon Estima or Alphard money. Hmm Will have to depend on bonus then LOL.

An Alphard doesn't have a boot, right? Useless car, then. It's meant to transport people in comfort, nothing else. Unless you are a VIP and have another car + driver to transport your things there is no point in that car.

Estima... can it compete with the S-Max? With the Galaxy I don't think so... the Galaxy and other contis drove Toyota out of the European market. They just couldn't compete (the Galaxy is better value too). Furthermore it is a second hand car, even if it is reconditioned. I think the S-Max also is more focused on sportiness.

Just watched the video... yup, sounds a lot like the Galaxy, although the Galaxy should be focused even more on comfort. That one rides really well, but still feels planted at 180-190 km/h (mine had the smallest TDCi engine (1.6L diesel), so it couldn't go much faster). It also feels well made, good noise insulation (you can almost whisper at 180 km/h ), and looks great inside (and outside too, for such a car). Very practical and spacious too... and I'm a Kangoo driver, so I am already spoilt by practicality and space.

Ps: From London?

S-Max seems to way more smaller than Estima and Alphard for the last row of seats.... so i would said S-max is more like a Station Wagon than a MPV. It just seem too small... maybe it is meant for kids or dogs only.

Fiesta - CBU Thailand
Focus - CBU Philippines (soon to be Thailand)
Mondeo - CBU Belgium
S-Max - CBU ???

If I remember right, s-max cbu Belgium

anybody hv any idea when new focus coming in?

Ford Jln Ipoh says 2012 Focus will be at port by Feb / March 2012. Earliest to get the car by August. All the sudden diesel will be brought back as earlier 'news' has it that there wont be any TDCIs. or could this be a misunderstanding of 2012 registered Focus TDCi.

The new focus shall come in during the 3rd quartet of the year. Ranger will come in first, somewhere around May.

How come no more TDCI?

What I heard was they will no longer bring in Sedan but only focus on Hatch Back.

Don't know how true.

The new 2012 Focus Titanium is here!

woah...where is it??? might be here for preview...wonder if they gonna bring in ST...that would be great
