it's strange too, because people will pay that on other vehicles...  but everyone wants fords to be cheap, reliable, and feature packed.. well, you can't have all three..

people complain and want to petition ford to bring over something that they themselves wouldn't even buy... so why keep going down this route.

When ford offers it, nobody buys it...so why would they continue to offer it?

same as the My Colour guages in mustangs.  I personally love the feature.. so I paid my extra to get it.

But I'm one of a very few that did, so it's not being offered.  I voted with my wallet.. unfortunately, being in the minority doesn't make good business sense.

I agree with your view. I just believe that offering some cool things on the car i.e. VSC or for the mustang, My Colour gauges makes it appeal to a handful of people who would never otherwise buy the car.. sometimes thought the handful of people like that they don't have the Secretary's mustang but have a cool sports car lol, same goes with the Focus. If I am lucky, maybe I can find a rare used focus with VSC, it's an amazing car, in my opinion better than a Civic for many reasons and to top it off, it has low end torque which is nice.
