New Focus no Badging?????????????????

csv8 · 08-08-2011, 11:57 AM

I went to my local Ford dealer and couldn't find a Titanium. I asked" do you have a Titanium" I was shown a Titanium. No badging. The way you tell the models apart is from the wheels!!!! If I spend $36k on Titanium or any Focus, I expect badging, so people following me down the road, know what model I am driving. How are people going to know what models are which ??? so. they can go and check the model out...???

Oh the HUMANITY!!!!11!11!one11!!

Same as what Mazda do. Not sure why you'd really want the badge, it's just that, a badge. If you need others to know you're driving a Titanium, then you should go buy a BMW. Then again, this coming from a guy who put an 'S' badge on his Fiesta HEHE :-)

Think it looks tidy without the badge personally.

Some badges make the car go faster

Prob one of two reasons. 1) The bean counters have just saved Ford a few dollars per car or 2) Research groups have said they prefer the de-badged look.

I'll go with 1 personally.

Titanium badges are available as far as I can see, I'm sure you would be able to request that it be applied at pre delivery for you.

+1!!!

mcouldrey · 08-03-2012, 12:16 PM

As much as its a stupid thread, if your paying twice the price as the base model, it should identify it, not because i want to show off, but if someone were to pass it in the street and think, "thats a nice car" at least they could go to ford and know what they saw. There is a big difference between 19990 and 36k.

probably an extra 20 killer wasps if you use a Ford badge instead of a Mini Clubman badge...

And a common rail direct injection badge.

Executer · 16-04-2012, 10:29 PM

might be worthwhile designing a custom badge and getting it made up.

dannyhilton · 17-04-2012, 10:44 AM

I want a badge on my car telling people it’s a 5-Speed manual. Can’t have onlookers think I bought a 4-Speed automatic Fiesta

eb2fairmont · 18-04-2012, 07:54 AM

I was going to use a 179 badge of an eh Holden. You know the one with the checkered flag. Respect victory and power!

leakey · 18-04-2012, 10:16 PM

Problem solved - only adds about $2000 in badge options..

... oh crap, I forgot the Titanium badge...

It's a good thing you didn't cover the tail-lights and reflectors, otherwise it would make the car un-roadworthy.

**Dave R** · 19-04-2012, 02:11 AM

This is the only badge I care for.
