what makes you say that? I bet when they changed the name Escort to Focus there were a lot of dissatisfied fans too because they just got used to the old name, from a marketing perspective it's okay to inter-change names once every decade

The reason why Ford dropped the escort name in Europe was because they were going into a new design direction, they had concidered keeping the name orginally, but they went with Focus as part of the stupid "f" naming the american part of the company was going in. The Focus is a Global car up until 2005, and will continue to become that into its 3rd generation.

but again that photo has been out for a while now, almost 2 years now, and if this a reliable website you got the pic post it, because if this is indeed what you say it is how come it's not on the main stream auto websites ?
