20 million American Idol viewers to see 2009 Ford Focus coupe

With American Idol getting around 20 million viewers on a Wednesday night show, it’s the perfect time for a company to show off a new product and this is just what Ford are doing for the first time on prime time television. The May 14 show of American Idol will also debut the 2009 Ford Focus coupe, updates to this new Focus coupe have been designed with help from customer feedback and they include standard 17-inch aluminum wheels on the SES series, a new roof-line spoiler, new front and rear fascias. On the performance side, the 2009 Ford Focus coupe four-speed automatic transmission will have a quicker acceleration thanks to a new final drive ratio and the 5-speed manual versions will get increased horsepower.

The new 2009-coupe model can only make the Focus 88 percent increase in retail sales over the last year improve. Having had a small car for the last two years, I can agree that small cars today are not like they were before, they make more use of the limited space and have a lot more horse power for their size. The Ford Focus is much of the same; it’s a little car that delivers in a big way for customers. The 35-mpg is nice on the pocket, a sportier coupe and the SYNC feature is one that makes you love Ford. If you watch FOX’s Wednesday broadcast of American Idol, you will see the 45-second music video that shows the remaining contestants and a new Focus coupe. Let us know what you think of the show and new ford.
