At the Paris Motor Show, Ford will display its entire range of 2012 Focus models as the first fruits borne of the "One Ford" global vehicle strategy. One Ford means we should no longer hear the mantra repeated too frequently by American car magazines, "not destined for the United States," as it synergizes Ford's worldwide divisions' resources to produce a true global car. The Paris moment will be significant for Ford, which will showcase its entire range of 2012 Focus models and variants in one venue for the first time. Ford claims that 80 percent of the parts that comprise the Focus platform will be shared around the world, ending the somewhat dubious strategy of regional models to suit regional tastes.
