Wait...so the next focus which will be on par with all the other compacts out there, you won't consider b/c in your mind you've moved on? You sound like a hurt lover, no offense.

Its just a car. If its just as good as a Civic or Mazda (natch), I'd consider it. No hurt feelings here.

If they actually gave us the RS version when we asked for it, maybe we wouldn't complain.

And if they've actually given us the Euro-spec ST when we asked for it, another reason to not complain.

Instead, they give us this god-awful redesign that no-one likes, so those of us who have the first gen Focuses hold onto them because all subsequent redesigns have been looking like they're trying to revive the Escort.

Now that Ford decides to go Euro-spec, most of us have grown up and gone on to different vehicles with much more excitement.

Complaining? Of course! But at least I air my grievance and move on...along with an explanation.

Put it back on your list! Ford listened after everyone bitched and they're doing what we want now. Car companies are not Starbucks! You can't pull up and say "I'd like a Venti Low-Fat Caramel Macchiato Euro Focus and have it in 2 minutes. It's a freaking car! It takes just a little bit longer to brew!

Larico Brown- Thank you for your childish e-thuggery. It made me laugh.

Randy- Read my original post. I said please tempt me with the RS. Anything less would be rather dull for me at this point. I've outgrown my SVT both physically and in driving ability.

This car has been around long enough for them to make up their minds sooner, save themselves some overhead by manufacturing one car instead of two, and bring it here. Besides, I don't like coffee, or Star*ucks for that matter. ;-)

I swear. WTF?! NOW THE BRING IT TO US?! Were they sleeping for so longg??! Not only did it cost them twice the money to make two cars, they kept us frustrated. I'm done man. I dont care about the focus now. I've graduated too ...just like the first commenter! Now its either RWD or AWD!

Some people just aren't happy unless they've got something to bitch about. Even if they get their way, they still have to bitch.

Mind you, I do agree that Ford should have done this sooner. Who knows? Perhaps if they had brought the Euro Focus over sooner, they'd be less in the hole financially than they are now.

I think it has more to do with the fact that we've heard this before from Ford.

Well, also, you'll always hear people bitch. On the other hand, people don't usually get worked up enough to praise a decision.

I, for example, think this is fantastic. I think it will sell well, too. Just remember that this is the Internet -- these comments don't really mean anything in any real terms. We'll wait for the sales numbers to speak.
