630land Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) "Ford's redesigned Focus posted record May sales of 32,579, up 53 percent versus a year ago; retail sales to individual customers more than doubled (up 105 percent)." and this: "Our dealers are selling the Focus at unprecedented turn rates," said Jim Farley, Ford group vice president, Marketing and Communications. "In fact, Focus' retail sales were 91 percent of beginning inventory, which puts it in the same league as the industry's best-selling small cars. This is a strong statement about customer demand for Ford's newest small car." So, no they are not dumping them into fleets.

Dolphy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) It's amazing that some people here cannot accept that the general public (not "enthusiasts") like the styling of the Focus when they don't. These "enthusiasts" can't accept that the general public doesn't care that the US Focus is not the C1. These "enthusiasts" think only their opinions matter. I don't like the looks of the Camry, but it must not bother a lot of other people for it to sell in the way it does. And I'm not going all over the internet belittling the Camry.

FordFanForEver Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080415/ford_focus.html?.v=2 "Ford Motor Co. says it will increase production of its Focus small car by 30 percent this year to meet higher demand." I was not to sure about the new design, but everyone likes it! 30 percent is not even enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonas1022 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm OK with the Focus' style. My wife isn't. Then again her friends have dissed the Focus, and so it's a no go. As for the Ricer set, she thinks they look like what she dumped in the commode on her last visit to the restroom. I guess this means we are buying a Mariner.
