ZTW,

Given the reality of gas prices going nowhere but higher in the foreseeable future and an uncertain economy going forward, a refocusing (pardon the pun) on smaller cars is inevitable, even for the Americans.

Now whether that means the Focus is doomed to "economical commuter car" status or can be revived again as a "hot hatch" is yet to be determined :unsure:
