You can tell that this car looks like it was rushed into production. I didnt hear about this Focus until maybe a year and some change now. We are still 3 years away from the Global Focus. Hopefully the hotshots at Ford will trust their Euro friends and change as little as possible. Ford NA aparantly needs their hands held when it comes to designeing a good compact car. Look at the embarassing compacts in the past ... Festiva, Aspire, and (yes I'll say it) the Escort. If Ford NA would have kept the Fiesta in the eraly 80's vice ditching it. And had the Escort more like the Euro Escort they wouldve had more sales.
But thats just my opinion. Maybe ford likes having the Aspires, and Festivas
