No, unfortunately sales figure will be lower. Very few people want MT these days. People above 30 years, living in town and used MT all want to move to AT already. Lutut tak tahan dah.

SS is not on par with Focus. 2.0 NA vs 1.6 Turbo. However it is very close:

Ford kerb weight 1470 kg (2.0L variant)
Maximum Power (Ps (kW)/rpm) 170 @ 6500

Price from about RM117k >>

Suprima S is 1,395 kg (CVT)
Maximum Power 103kW @ 5,000 RPM
Maximum Torque 205Nm @ 2,000 – 4,000 RPM

Peak performance for the Focus 2.0L is higher than Suprima S, however need to rev it quite high to get it there. In actual race, I am not sure if it is that far apart.
I actually would like to see a track time at sepang for the stock performance/stock tyres of both cars. Gladly use my own car for SS, if I in sepang. Use same race car driver for both cars. Maybe Paultan can arrange something on Driven for this.

Voice command. Not that useful as it is quite rigid. auto parking quite useful for those who don't know how to side park their car. Reverse video parking even more useful not to run over people.

Suprima has revised ECU update for better pickup...resulting in worse FC than Preve CFE IINM
