Ford returns to the world of open-topped motoring with the elegant yet practical Ford Focus Coupé-Cabriolet – making its preview debut at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show.The introduction of the Focus Coupé-Cabriolet has been led by customer response to Ford’s Vignale Concept, which was displayed at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. The positive reaction prompted Ford to green-light the car for production, and it has been made ready in less than two years.
