Is it me, or why does the production version of these sexy concept cars always look like the wheel size drops by 5 inches.  The Verve concept looked like it had huge wheels with tires the filled the wheel opening with a nice hunkered down stance.  This version has puny wheels with big gaps to the fender and a lot of height above the rear wheel (alla Toyota Echo.)

Mindless drones don't want a taut ride or to pay for 18-20" treads. They want a cushy, plush, uninteresting ride and cheap 15-16" rubber. That's why I wasn't really surprised to hear that the 2010-2011 Euro Focus isn't high up on the list of cars to come to N.A. just yet - they've already converted us away from the original hotness and now they're afraid of alienating Mom and Pop 6-pack by bringing the new, edgier Focus back into the mix.

Sorry to the guys who have an 08 or 09, but when your Focus looks like an Escort that humped an Ion (angrily at that)... that's not a Euro Focus. That's a "WTF was I drinking Focus". With a donkey punch thrown in for good measure.
