The Focus has been named the ZX3(2 door hatch), ZX4(sedan), ZX5(4 door hatch). Now if we go back, the Focus replaced the ZX2 Escourt. Go back one more what was the ZX1 if there is such a thing, what could be deemed the original Sport Compact for Ford.
Buddy's thinkin deep at 5:30 am...
ZX1? sounds like a mustang package form the 80's or early 90's to me.
That would be a car with.. 1 door? I dont think Ford ever built a 1 door coupe or hatchback :P
They starting calling the Escort by "ZX2", then totally ditched the Escort title and called the coupe the ZX2. I guess they figured it would be clever to carry that on with the Focus ZX3 (it might also imply to people that the ZX3 is 1 better than the ZX2). Also remember that this is totally a North American naming system, the European models dont have any Z-badges at all.

Zimbabwaya Turkey stupid
well it was supposed to be ZETEC... but now the duratec's are still called ZX*
so Zimbabwe Xtreme Sedan!
Actually the X was to reffer to the X generation.......... that's who ford was marketing the car too.
i dont know about the meanning of the 2 first letter, but the third one reprensent the version
ZX2 -> 2 doors
ZX3 -Â> 3 doors
ZX4 -> 4 doors
ZTW -> Wagon
ZTS -> Sedan ("T" for Touring?)
so I have a Zetec Touring Sedan?...nice, lol
X = times
Zetec x 2 doors
Zetec x 3 doors
Zetec x 5 doors
... what mean the "X" and the "R" for the 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-2 :icon_mrgreen:
Hahaha, if the Z meant Zetec, then why is my Focus still a ZX5 and a Duratec engine? :P
Zealous Xtra 5-door?
