Prediction: Honda is in for some very dark days (relatively speaking, of course) if they can't rediscover their engineering mojo.

I don't know. The escape is a dated, crappy chassis but it sells like hotcakes...

Doing yearly comparisons with the tsunami and production interruptions is very stupid.

It's cheap (especially after HUGE incentives) gets good to great gas mileage, and most people don't care about cars.

GM and Ford will always sell to the ignorant car buyers who could care less about driving. Those cars won't be maintained, and will cost a fortune over the next 5 years. But..... they were cheap. |

I think the Focus loses because no one in their right mind would pay 20k+ for one. Not even 'Mericans

I like the Cruze, Sorento, and Sonata. Agreed on all the losers... I still haven't warmed up to the Focus. I was looking forward to the hatch, but those tail lights. They're pretty ridiculous IMO. It definitely catches my eye though, I'll give it that.

I think the new focus is selling great considering the price hike. If it's down 3%, but each car brings more profit, then it could be a net win.
And they've been slow to get them to dealers. the selection just isn't there yet. |

something about making the dash board in the US ( machine down) so they are bringing them in from Europe, which is slowing production

I'm seeing the new Foci all over the damn place, so I doubt the car is a disappointment for Ford.
