Focus (Euro C1) and Mazda3 selling like hot cakes in China! Why can't Ford sell this in US??

Here's an article discussing how well the new Focus and Mazda3 are selling in China. Every time I read an article like this, I want to smack whoever at FoMoCo made the decision not to bring the new Focus here. Again, the world gets new improved, and in the US we get warmed over mediocre. Igor a new commenter here, from the Foculjet forums says that a new Focus is due in 2008. I believe it's long overdue and by 2008 I'll be writing a new blog called "I remember when Ford built cars, do you?"
