As you point out, they are not as successful in the small car game. I looked at the Focus ST before I realized I would need a truck and it was designed for a teenager. It felt more like a game console than a vehicle. Really, I was considering a GTI even though I had been burned previously by VW's idea of reliability.
It's not so much there is no demand for smaller cars,but that Ford is finding it too hard to compete with other companies.
