This fall a redesigned 2008 Ford Focus rolls into U.S. dealerships, offering 35 miles per gallon and a nifty new hands-free phone-and-enter-tainment system called Sync. Available in a sedan or coupe, the Focus is aimed at consumers clamoring for smaller cars and cool technology. Ford hopes the new version will reignite Focus sales, which fell from 286,000 in 2000 to 177,000 last year.rnIn Europe Ford also sells a car called the Focus. But except for the name, it shares virtually nothing with the U.S. Focus—it looks different, it's engineered differently, and none of the components are the same.
