Ford Focus Convertible and Ford Kuga coming to the U.S.
Ford is asking dealers to help the company prepare for at least six new small cars headed to the U.S. within the next three years. FoMoCo is hoping that the small cars attract a new type of customer, preferably fuel-economy conscious customers.

The six new models coming to the U.S. will come straight from Europe. We already know that the Euro-Focus and Fiesta will be coming by 2010. According to Farley, the list also includes... Read Article

I hope Ford keeps the look of the European Focus and not change it like the American version.

I don't think they will. Further isn't Ford going to rivive the Capri? I read it's based on a Focus chassis.I would assume that car would be badged a Mercury. That will be a hot car to own.

What Ford should be focusing on is building these cars in the US and exporting to Europe. This will take advantage of echange rates and utilization of excess capacity in the US. The financial impact of incremental sales in the US from European-sourced product is peanuts when compared to these actions.

(1)freeagent is right...something the "Big 3" (or is it 2 1/2)should all do.
