They don't make any money on cars that don't sell. If you buy them, they will build them--if you don't, they won't. That's how the retail marketplace works. Supply and demand--no demand, shut-down the supply.
You can still buy an econo-shit-box (they ALL sell them globally), but the importation costs would be as much as the cost of the car.
The Focus was a good little car--up until 2010 when they changed the tranny--and then ran with it for a decade--knowing what a flawed POS it was. BTW--Nissan just rolled-out the new Pathfinder--and dropped the CVT for a conventional automatic--trying to salvage the brand.
