The Focus is considered more European than American because that's the market the original was designed for. In the US, the Focus was only ever a bit player, in Europe, they're as common as Corollas.

It's sort of like the Escort, that way... BTW, direct spiritual connection... both were tuned by Ford's tuning arm in Europe and were big in Britain and Germany... from the RS2000 Escorts to the Focus RS, they've been churning out great small sports cars while Ford of America had nothing but the Mustang.

That's actually why the Focus handles so well, it's a European "passion" thing.

Designed and made for European market...ummh, can't get any Euro than that!!!
