ford know's there's no money in sports cars and we focus enthusiasts make up less than ten percent of focus sales. what they have makes them PROFIT...

They arent an upscale sporty brand.....the roads in Europe are mostly twists and hills, that is why the cars are built with independent suspension and harder shocks. The images you see on the Internet mainly show you the top of the line sedans, but trust me, you can get basic striped down models... which is what sells the most.
Upscale sports brands are BMW and Alpha Romeos.....
I like it im gonna push the girlfriend to get one lol hopefully its decently priced
Hmm... I like alot of thing about the car but when I look at it as a whole, I don't really care for it...can't pin point why.
Count me out.
