(AP) - The 2008 Ford Focus is seen in Detroit, Friday, Oct. 12, 2007. The revamped Focus now is making its way to showrooms. Early next year, General Motors Corp. will show a glimpse into its future small cars when it sends the Saturn Astra to dealerships, and more compacts are on the way. Industry analysts said the improved offerings are much better than the chintzy small cars of the past, but Detroit still has a long way to go to unseat the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, which together control almost 30 percent of the small car market.
