how come no one ever talks about a diesel focus :(, i dont really care about a fast focus that can be in the impound lot more then in my driveway. What i care about is a small car that gives me 1000km's per tank and cost maybe 1000$ more then a gas model focus. Why can't ford freaking get that!!!!!!

Because our American friends think that diesel is for fat cigar chomping truckers, in big rigs, or smarter than the average bear geeks, the demand for diesel vehicles for the average joe is deemed to be too low to justify to the accountants at Ford in Dearborn the cost of bringing over the diesel Focus.

Like you, I am hoping for a diesel Focus, despite the relative higher cost of fuel, the range between fuel stops would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for all the mixed metaphors.
