...compliant with American standards? Why not more - say, 90%+ (1) what are the major differences between Europe, Asia vs. the USA new Ford Focus? (2) MORE IMPORTANTLY, how is the difference accounted in the 20%? Is it emmisions, safety or other? (3a) Is the 20% by materials, volume of items or (3b) by the cost of the updates required? For example - if a laminated windshield for the USA market is not the same as other markets - how would this account in the 20% difference? ALSO - DAVE W - yahoo answers automotive expert --- your emails are returned. Are you still there, my friend?
