It's kinda surprising to me that a manual transmission is available for the Focus with the 2.0L there in the States. Here in Brazil it's only available with the 1.6L.
Anyway, since nowadays the 1.0L Ecoboost is the engine of choice in about 25% of the brand-new Ford cars in Europe, there might be a good reason for its availability to be extended to the U.S.-spec Focus too. It has been rumored that it's also coming to the Argentinian Focus, with the engines to be supplied from the Camaçari engine plant.
