Looks like someone badly mangled the GT90 concept car, then stuck the remains together with some adverts and slipped it back into the Ford Heritage centre, hoping no-one would notice

does anyone really know why "focus" was used? was it cheaper than copwrighting a new name?

I think they must mean Focus in the "Do-It-All" DIY sense.

The designer must of misheard when the boss said "FOCUS, DAMMIT, FOCUS!!"".

Actually, with a few more stickers, it might look alright. Halford's a doing a nice line in under car neon lighting at the mo' too!
