Its up to us to keep it alive.True ... but Ford hasn't made it easy ... after 7 Foci in a row I'm now replacing my wife's ZTW with a new Fusion - why? - because no wagon ... the only Focus we really liked and fit perfectly for our family was the wagon ... no wagon anymore ... I might have convinced her that a 5-door hatch was close enough - but, no hatch either.

We almost went for the Mazda5, nice vehicle, but the combination of high price and high lease rates resulted in a monthly lease payment almost $120 more than a fully loaded Fusion SEL I4 (both with 0 down) and a buy-out more than $2000 higher - just didn't make sense economically - so I guess that means we're still a Focus family at heart LOL - cheap.
