Everything to do with the Focus is on is on the back burner in North America.

Yeah I agree, what is up with the North American market? It seems like everything is better over in Europe as far as the Focus goes. It just figures, almost like it's old news.....

^^This is going to kill Ford, they can never do it right on focus, fuel system will result another massive recall. :unsure:

TRUCKS TRUCKS AND TRUCKS!


When will the bell go off in Fords head that not everyone needs a damn truck!!!


Personally if they were selling a diesel focus for 26grand I wouldnt mind it. My girl has a tdi bug and she gets an average of 1000km for a full tank and not to mention the price of diesel is 15 cents cheaper then gas.

Fords car development is s**t :angry:

You should come to the states then and see for yourself how many people drive trucks.

Cars like the focus do not exist in the mid states.... 9/10 owns a truck.
