After a recent, perhaps overly romantic rumination on the transformative power of a convertible top (prompted by a week on a six-cylinder Ford Mustang), a commenter or two mentioned Ford's European-market Focus Coupé-Cabriolet. It's a car that boasts reasonable seating for four and a retractible hard top, and it competes quite fiercely with a host of groovy little Euro-droptops, including the Volkswagen Eos, the Renault Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet, and the Peugeot 307 CC. Well, now Ford, with some help from the famed Italian design house Pininfarina, has restyled the Focus Coupé-Cabriolet for a Geneva Motor Show debut, bringing it a bit closer in appearance to the well-received Verve concepts (some version of which may be headed to America, eventually). At any rate, the airy new Focus looks pretty fine to me, and it'd look even better in my driveway. But I can't have it. And unless you're in Europe, you can't either. What a shame.
