TBH I had a 1.5 Pug Engine in my 2015 Ford Focus 1.5 Tdci 120 Titanium, it pulled like a train
had lots of poke when turbo kicked in about 1750 rpm loved it, even seen off a lot of BMW 3 series
god only knows what it would have been like with a pukka Ford Motor ??

Exactly so. The Grand Sport was so attractively priced and specced throughout the range, it had so much going for it. Then as you said, they cut out some standard features, and bumped up list prices by nearly £2000. Madness.

Dual tone horns to be replaced with single tone. Rover did this in 2004 when they facelifted the 75. The single tone horn made such a feeble sound that owners had to add the other horn themselves otherwise it was very embarrassing sounding the single horn 
With car sales down but still with fixed overheads prices will rise.

Its a bad move if you ask me, the likes of BMW and other marque cars manufacturers are actively adding kit as standard.
Shame as the new tourer is a great looking car with a good spec standard
