If you own more than one Ford Focuses are they “Ford Foci?”?
The plural form of “focus” is “foci.” so, does the same apply for the car?

Theoretically, the answer is yes, it should be Ford Foci. The sad part is that since it’s now a proper noun for a car Focuses would be the proper plural. The Y!A answerer who suggests that all rules apply is correct except in the case when a regular word becomes a proper noun, at which point other rules apply.

Yes, and the drops of oil underneath that fine Detroit product are called focal points. Three or more cars of that name are a Foci Fleet.
Smittybo20 forgets that a group of geese is either a gaggle or a skein, depending on if they are on the ground or in flight.

I think Smittybo is probably the closest answer. The problem is the proper name of something being used in its grammatical sense. The title – or proper noun – is “Focus” so the rules that apply to the word focus do not apply here.
But – more so I totally agree with the poster who is sorry you bought two. Either you got them on e-bay because you clicked twice on the “buy now” option or someone suckered you into getting both. Either way, my condolences.

Nope, it would be called Focuses. I find it unfortunate that anyone would own two of the same Fords. I Think this one is a hypothetical question. Surely you wouldn’t buy two.

No because the word focus is a verb and the rule does not apply to a verb. You can’t have more than one of a verb.

Since it’s the title of a car it would be Focuses.

no cos they have different meaning even if they are nouns. Foci have to come in pairs( geometric).

It would be better to say, “My Fleet of Ford Focus”
It is like saying my geeses, instead I say my “Flock of Geese”
But that is just me, I recon.

I’ve also wondered what the plural is for Elvis impersonators. Elvi?
