Really Bold Moves

Autoblog examines some of Ford's recent concept cars, and determines what its mediocre lineup could have looked like today.

It's hard to narrow it down to just one mistake, but I think the company's biggest error in recent years has been its decision not to sell the second-generation Focus in North America. For the first time in recent memory, Ford had a genuinely competitive small car (once the first-year bugs were worked out, anyway) and they blew it - just when gas was getting more expensive, to boot. (Ford's decision seems even more ridiculous when you note that the acclaimed Mazda3 is based on the new Focus.)
