It's a Focus forum, we can say whatever the hell we want if we're Focus fans. I'm not sure about a lot of you lately, but I'm stil a (2000-2007) Focus fan.
And as for the sales? That's easy... Joe Beergut needs soft, floaty family wheels with a big trunk for his wife's junk. The Focus isn't for that person. The Focus is for the person who wants to drive their car and feel connected to the road... not bob merrily down the road. Land yacht school is ----> that way.
There are far more Joe Beerguts than Focus Enthusiasts. They can keep Ford up in sales, we'll keep driving the cars that are fun to drive.
If there was a true, sporting Taurus I'd give it a second look. So far, everything else they've offered this side of the Mustang is CRAP for sport touring.
