Thats a good question and the only answer is that its Ford when do they ever do anything that makes sense?

The focus is turning into the new sunfire/cavalier. How many years did they make those cars with only minor changes year to year?

I think it was 20 odd years on the J body platform for the Stunfire/Crapalier...

I somehow doubt Ford is that stupid to let the Focus wither on the vine like that

I wouldn't say that ford has done much of anything smart lately in north america. If ford can keep selling focus's without overhauling them I wouldn't put it past them to keep selling them this way. 2010 seems like a pretty good guess of when they might bring out a new focus, or the focus replacement.
