Guess you never seen a Fusion huh?
I guess the 13 recalls, horrible reliability and the general bad reputation that the Focus has now from that didn't have anything to do with sales dropping like a rock huh?  |
Notice how many people on focaljet used to have more than one foci? A few people and families owned more than one focus at the same time!
Honestly not really. I see one ever 2 months on the road, and I don’t see too many at ford dealers because they are all going out of business here. I see more 06 style Hyundai sonatas than fusions. The fusion has fewer options than the focus used to have, so even though it is “bigger” it is a crappier car. Not an upgrade at all IMO.
BMW, VW etc have NO trouble selling VERY un reliable products for a profit. Even though there cars are not reliable, they have style, quality feel, tech, and performance. Ford should have ADDED features to the focus to ad to its appeal even though it was not the most reliable car. By making it a boring, bland, unreliable car there was NO reason to buy it over a civic or corolla. There is no longer ANY compelling reason to buy the focus over any other small car except it is MUCH cheaper than anything else similar to it on the market. Not a good way to make money.
