What flagship vehicle did Ford announce discontinuation of in 2022, known for meaning "hearth" in Latin?

The correct answer is the Focus, which was announced by Ford for discontinuation in 2022. The name "Focus" derives from the Latin word for "hearth," symbolizing a central gathering place or focal point, which aligns with the vehicle's role as a compact car appealing to a broad audience. The discontinuation is part of Ford's strategic shift toward a focus on larger vehicles and electric cars, aligning with market trends and consumer preferences.

Meanwhile, the Mustang is an iconic sports car that has maintained a strong legacy, and the Fiesta and Fusion were also popular models but did not hold the same significance in Ford's lineup as the Focus, particularly in terms of its compact market position which had become less profitable amid changing consumer habits.
