Ford Focus
The ongoing love story between Quebecers and the Focus got somewhat chilly last year when, while reworking the line, Ford ended production of the five-door and station versions in order to concentrate its efforts on the sedans and coupes. Built on a very rigid platform, the Focus is powered by a 140 horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. Since the Focus is due to be completely redesigned, there are only minor changes for 2010.
