Sure not having an automatic option becomes quite pointless in the U.S., and it does surprise me even more because here in Brazil the Fiesta with this engine is only available with the DCT. But anyway, probably those who would just want to follow the 3-cylinder bandwagon might have the option of that 1.5L Dragon engine (which in Brazil is already available in a simplified version for the EcoSport). Well, since the next-generation Focus is likely to be supplied to the U.S. from China, and the 1.5L limit is set there for a lower tax break, I wouldn't hold my breath for the 1.0L to remain available in the U.S. not even in the Focus.
