Cars are probably the absolute worst investment one could make...and Ford wants to keep reminding us of that fact. My next car will be something used and probably an Import (i.e. an Acura product since they have a decent resale value). I'm still going to keep the Focus, mainly because by the time I can afford another car, I would probably have to pay someone to take my Focus off my hands.

I really wish I could have purchased a leftover Integra Type R instead of this car. Today, ITR's are selling for sticker price or more! I don't think there is another car priced under $25k built in the past 10 years (or more) that has this sort of resale value.
