Looks great and no Ford doesn't send all that many cool cars to north america. All we get is their muscle.

Focus came out great! Love the wheels, they look like they could turn out to be a mess to clean!
For the Americans, Ford rebrand many cars and parts in the UK. I think you can get this engine, in a car which is the Focus chassi its called the Volvo C30. In the UK you can get both the Focus and C30.
The Mondeo was for sale in the USA at one point called the Contour. Just like the UK its a car that isnt in a part of the market where they really sell. Once the Mondeo was one of the biggest sellers in the UK, now it sells less then the BMW 3 series b/c they cost (list price) similar cash and devalue quicker the ten tonne weights over the Grand Canyon takes to hit the bottom.
Its similar in the way that in the UK people say they want the Mustang to be sold here, truth be told most people who can afford to run a big engine Mustang can afford/want something more desirble with a premium brand and image.

gavb--Nice car!! And, nicely finished. I get jealous just looking at Ford's UK website.
No, we can't get the current generation Focus in North America. The "ST" that was sold here through 2007 had a 2.3 Mazda engine (no turbo), and a few suspension bits from the SVT series. And, it isn't even in the 2008 lineup.
It's a nice enough car (I own one), but it doesn't hold a candle to what you have.
Ford continues to keep some really sweet cars away from us here in the States. I'm going to remember that in a few years when I am car shopping again, even though my last six purchases were Fords. That BMW 1-series is starting to look pretty good to me.
