Actually, the proper grammar for 'Focuses' would be just Focus' due to the fact that it's not gramatically correct to add extra s's on the end of a word/name that ends in s.
Did anyone pass English?! I didn't! :P

You wouldn't tack on the extra 's' if you were doing possessive - so it's "the Focus' interior is roomy" instead of "the Focus's interior is roomy" Contribute to focuscanada.net's future!

Focus Focuss - as in a group Focus's - as in ownership / the car itself Focuses - as in many / reffering to ownership / the car itself Focus' - again correct as in putting in the 's meaning ownership, or the car itself Foci - can be correct as it's an Internet term.
