Ford will end production of its American Focus wagon in December of this year, according to a bulletin posted on the automaker’s Fleet website. The wagon is the lowest volume model in the Focus lineup, with a large number of units going to fleet sales. For the 2007 model year, Ford will — pardon the pun — focus on the four-door sedan and three- and five-door hatchbacks. “We want to align our product offerings with customer demand,” the company explained. The last orders will be taken November 20th.
Last week, we brought you the first spy photos of the 2008 Ford Focus sedan and coupe. The two-door coupe will be a new addition to the Focus range for the 2008 model year and onward.

With the Escape getting bigger for the next gen, I think they’ll need a wagon. But if the wagon isn’t selling, then they’re smart to ditch it. If the Volvo C30 hatch is coming over (and I believe it is), and the Mazda3 5-door continues to sell well, then they’ve got their bases covered.

Damn. There goes the only logical alternative to the R-class.

1c3, I agree with you there, but there’s no denying the practicality of the thing.

Thanks for showing a photo of the “rest of the world’s Focus”, the one we cannot buy stateside.
Unfortunately, Americans will buy crap cars to feel patriotic. Meh.

Station wagons are hot news in Europe so I’m guessing this is the US Focus that is being canned

Anybody think they could be canning this so it doesnt steal sales from that beautiful Mondeo Wagon which is coming down the pipe any time now?
