Well, not to disagree with you, but I bought my focus 2 years ago, what other car could I buy in the same class, same price range, and same target group? not many, the Focus appealed to me cus it was hands down cheaper and on par performance wise with the rest of them out there. You are partially right that in 2005 the focus is behind in the competition. but I predict a cycle going to happen, Ford will get to where we want them to be, but I dont see this happening right away in 2005, perhaps a year later.
