they do sell the hatchback Focuses here, but for some reason Americans just don't like hatches on smaller cars. they have no problem with a hatch if it's on an SUV or a minivan, but if it's on a small hatchback or a wagon, forget it.
if you think you saw a lot of 4-door Focuses, you should see the 4-door Fiesta. that thing is an abomination. I don't know how anyone could choose that over the 5-door Fiesta. at least 75% of the Fiestas I see are the 4-door.
anyway I don't know how to feel about next season. losing Chevy and BMW, and possibly SEAT, those are going to be some big losses. while it would be interesting to see more aero and faster racing, it shouldn't be at the expense of losing 2 premier manufacturers. I don't know about you guys but I'd rather see BMWs and Chevys than Citroens.
