Increased price? Any source?

Was never told of this and I just spoke to SDAC PJ's manager and he didn't mention anything about it.

What's stopping you from getting the Focus, by the way?

Less likely unless it is special request by the buyer, i think there is ford regulation all thier car released with standard plate and ford's frame
I dont think there is anything major in near future for M3 other then skyactive technology, looks most likely be the same. K3 will offer lotsa gadgets and accesory but handling and trasmissions i dont think will be able to surpass fofo yet.

What if by the time M3 & K3 release ford also announced they will release model with accesory and performance package? You will be waiting forever.........

GE is around the corner, but changes will not be overnight. Drafting and debating might take month, and you cannot be sure they wont introduce other charges to maintain cash flow. Politician is still politician whichever side they are. A good discount now might be better then whatever price-cut the goverment will offer later.

If you dont really need a car it is a good thing to wait or not buying at all, debt is not really a fun thing to hold

Thanks for highlighting the differences!

My first choice would be Sport+ as I like the look the hatchback but I'm disappointed at the lack of:
- BLIS
- Full leather seats

Alternatively, may consider the Titanium+ if it had:
- 17" rims
- Black full leather seats (rather than beige)
