Your thoughts are a Great Cheer, the question is, "HOW?".
Thus, we have this thread for some (realistic) input.
We ALL want a "Performance Model", if not a Couple of Levels.
We'll save that for another thread.
Right now, we're discussing something for Enthusiasts, Students, Old people, Rental Companies, Families, etc.
What Features Do we Want/Need as "STANDARD FEATURES" if we were looking to buy a FOCUS.
I am One of the "Perfect" Focus Customers.
I Lust for other products such as the Mustang, but the Focus is my Price-Point.
I Auto-X and Run Track events, but I also have a Family, and there is a Car seat in My Race-Spring/Koni-Equipped '01 S2 as well as my wife's '03 ZTS.
My Grandfather has an '06 sedan.
I know All angles of the Focus Market, from Show Toy to Track Car, to Grocery Getter, to Commuter, to "Old Folks' Car", to Rental Fleet.
Ford, If you're Listening, Don't Forget the "Performance End" of that Equation, WITHOUT Shooting Yourself in the Foot by Pricing Yourself Out of that Market.
