Looks like the domestic market Ford Focus will remain the laughing stock of the worldwide Focus product line if these spy photos of Chinese market Foci are any indication. These images point to the integration of Ford’s European “kinetic design” styling language seen on the likes of the Verve concept and current Mondeo. You can… »

There’s that moment that most people have, somewhere around high school, when J.D. Salinger becomes some sort of prophet.
