                    [Title] => Ford's focus on success
                    [Summary] => 

The new Ford Focus is finally here. And this time, it’s personal. Gone are the days when Ford was just happy to be “present” in the compact segment. Gone, too, are the cutesy terms like “niche” and “Euro alternative” No, this time, Ford has its newly sculpted projector beams Focused squarely on the big three.

If you looked hard enough, you would have noticed that these sporty compact sedans sport familiar blue oval emblems. If you guessed that these are Ford cars, then you are partially right. If you guessed these cars are the new Ford Focus, then you deserve a pat on the back.

[Summary] => When Ford Group Philippines launched the 2002 Lynx, the company used an advertisement that featured the new car slicing through a pack of motorcyclists with the caption, "How do you overtake a 60-man convoy? Easily." Local biker groups protested against the ad, fearing it may send wrong signals to drivers of four-wheeled vehicles and worsen the already-dangerous situation of motorcyclists in this country. In a compromise, Ford’s advertising agency added a disclaimer that the ad was done with professional stunt riders, hence should not be imitated by others.

The Lynx is essentially a rebadged Mazda Protege/Familia/Laser and not a "true" Ford like the Expedition, F-150, or the not-available-here Focus.
