" DETROIT \u2014 When we first heard Ford was remaking its aging Focus compact sedan we thought, &amp;quot;Finally!&amp;quot; But then we realized it would be on the same old chassis and lost a bit of enthusiasm. Well, after hearing what Ford had to say our interest is piqued once again.  At Ford&amp;#039;s press conference, Mark Fields, Ford&amp;#039;s President of the Americas, announced the new Focus is actually lighter than the last model and also benefits from a major stiffening of the structure. He also announced that that Ford will offer a coupe version of the Focus (pictured at right) and a brand new interior that looks nothing like the old car. That&amp;#039;s all good stuff, but we&amp;#039;ll reserve our final judgment until we can get behind the wheel later this year. \u2014Ben Stewart Click here for complete coverage of the 2007 North American International Automobile Show in Detroit.
