I don't know dude... the Scion is ugly in comparison. Price wise, they're about the same. Quality wise, Ford actually ranks higher on the Focus. I love ours. I can't wait for the new one. Not to mention all the new features and options on this thing.
When I bought my VW years ago I was actually working at Ford. Had considered getting the Focus in the first model year it was released in the US. Glad I didn't because the Focus set a record with 8 recalls!!!
Not a fan of the Focus' styling either... looks like a Camry from a few years ago :P
regardless, Glad it suits your needs however and that you enjoy yours.

Yup, I realize Scion is a sub division of Toyota. Nowhere on that list are any specific Scions however.
I'm also not going to sit here and argue with you that I'm better off buying an import versus a dometic car. The argument can lean either way. I realize some domestics are class leaders in gas mileage, safety, environmment, etc... But there's several foreign manufacturers who build excellent quality AND stylish cars. I'm just not interested in any American cars in my price range due to things such as styling. Malibu - sorry, not interested, Saturn - oh wait they're gone, Pontiac - the G8 was cool but oh yeah they're gone too...
No where does it say as an American, I'm required to buy an American car. The american auto worker and the american auto companies brought their collapse upon themselves. I'm sure they'd love my business, but I'm not obligated to help their situation. My choice as a consumer...
Focus
