2009 Ford Focus Coupe Goes Public on Idol Tonight

Tonight's American Idol elimination episode will determine the final two. Smart money is on the two Davids battling it out for the most forgettable Idol season ever. (Personally, I'd like Syesha to stay.) Ford hopes to take advantage of the high ratings of AI to introduce the 2-door Coupe version of the Ford Focus.

When the 2008 Focus sedan came out last year, it seems like Ford tried to evoke pleasant memories of The Rainbow Fish, with a reflective cheek implant emulating the newly humble fish's single shiny scale. Instead, the styling cue reminded me of Rosanne Rosannadana's commentary in response to Mr. Richard Vader of Fort Lee New Jersey. "It's like when you get something stuck between your teeth, and it's like a bone, but it's not a bone. . . ." Ford has had the last laugh though, sales of the Focus have been strong, and because the company didn't spend a bunch of money on a complete redo, the car might even be profitable to build.

Anyway, the coupe does away with the bony thing. It has the Sync music system that lets you play artist Michael Bolton. It gets good gas mileage. It's made by the UAW in the United States. What more could you want?
