The wait for an all-new Ford Focus in North America will soon be over as Ford has announced that it will debut the car at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a> in January. The Detroit festivities will mark the global debut of the new global Focus that will be sold here, Europe and the rest of the world.<br />
<br />
The Ford Focus shares its platform with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/frankfurt-2009-2010-ford-c-max-debuts-grand-c-max-bound-for-am/">C-Max and Grand C-Max</a> that are debuting in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/frankfurt-auto-show/">Frankfurt</a> this week. North American hatchback fans will be happy hear that the five-door form factor is returning alongside the four-door sedan. Initially, we won't be getting a three-door hatch, but it's a start. The overall look will be very similar to what we see in the C-Max twins, especially at the front and along the sides.<br />
<br />
The new Focuses for North America will be built at two U.S. assembly plants in Michigan and will go on sale about a year from now. Ford isn't announcing its powertrain plans yet, but the 1.6-liter EcoBoost will likely find a home in these cars before long.<br />
