Cars like this (the ones people want) are where a company like Ford needs to make their money. It also helps to make up for all the Focus shitboxes they practically have to give away to offset the CAFE hit the company takes selling V8 cars that drag their fleet average down.
If they didn't sell as many Mustangs, they wouldn't have to sell as many Focuses. Chicken and egg

How about a better strategy, improve the quality & desirability of the Focus, so that it can command a higher price?

How are they being forced to make SUVs/crossovers?
