Redesigned Ford Focus expected to get 40 mpg on the highway

The redesigned 2012 Ford Focus will get an estimated 40 mpg in highway driving with an all-aluminum 2.0-liter engine mated to a six-speed, dual-dry-clutch automatic transmission. The normally aspirated engine combines variable camshaft timing and high-pressure direct fuel injection to crank out 160 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque. That compares with 140 hp and 136 lb-ft from the aluminum 2.0-liter engine used in the current-generation Focus.

2012 Toyota Camry: Quieter, more upscale and easier on gasoline

How best to describe the redesigned 2012 Toyota Camry?

The new Camry--the brand's flagship that has been the top-selling car in the United States for the past nine years--is also a prime opportunity for Toyota to prove to car buyers that it has put the controversy over claims of unintended acceleration and recalls behind it.
