Ford also ripped off Land Rover (another brand they sold a few years before) with their Explorer around that time. Not sure if there was cycle overlap, more influence from the UK division, or they just had a thing for British design....but you could do a lot worse for influence.

The last gen Focus sold in North America was actually a very competent compact car that was let down by the disastrous powershift transmission.
