If I recall correctly, a lot of people thought the 2000 Focus was ugly and awkward when it was released, too... and had a world of reliability problems.

In those respects, you could say the '08 is doing better. And with a few years of enhancements, who knows what might happen. If the reveal today includes what I'm guessing it does (FocusSport-provided power upgrades from the factory), and sales do well in '09, it's only a matter of time before Ford Performance gets Shelby involved in what put them on the map: performance compacts.

Here's hoping, anyway.
