"All use independent rear suspension." Not quite,one of the changes is torsion beam rear suspension on lower range models with only upper range engines and estates getting IRS. Causing a fair bit of debate online about Ford diluting the Focus driver appeal ( suspect ninety per cent of drivers won't be able to tell the difference...) Read more
One of the reasons that introductions of variants are staggered is that it makes the production ramp up of a new model easier as the number of variations that need to be built is lower. This makes it easier when everyone is still learning to build the car.
Also when the demand is high at launch but production has not yet reached the maximum level it helps prevent long delivery delays building up.

There is a marketing reason that staggering the launch of individual specifications. It keeps the model looking ‘new’ for longer as there are more ‘new....’ stories to publish

And at that point with several hundered pounds it MAY be repaiable....

University teachers have to plough through this sort of Chinglish all the time now. It dulls the senses.
Covering a bike is not a deterrent. And if you are going to buy a chain and lock, make sure it's an Almax chain and lock. Anything else would be a breeze for these thieves.. Read more
