This January Ford CEO Alan Mulally will take the stage as one of the keynote speakers of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It'll be the fourth time Mulally has headlined CES, and this time he'll have one of The Blue Oval's most anticipated new products in his corner. The 2012 Focus has been named the official car of 2011 CES, an honor that will give the forthcoming C-Segment blockbuster the spotlight right in time for its launch. The Focus enters the market early in 2011 with most of Ford's latest technology including Sync, MyFord Touch and Wi-Fi capability.

Ford Marketing, Sales and Service VP Ken Czubay calls the Focus the best of what Ford has to offer, adding that the vehicle will deliver "class-leading features and technologies as well as an expected 40 mpg." Ford will showcase the Focus in several ways at CES "including more product-specific signage, displays, demonstrations and materials."

The Focus is actually the second straight Ford to claim the title of "official car of CES," as the Taurus held the title at CES 2010. Hit the jump to read the Ford's release.
