Auto nameplate humor

An English-born friend has lost most of his English accent, but he still retains some figures of speech.  One of these is "in hospital" rather than "in the hospital".

He drives a Ford Focus, and so I couldn't resist saying that he was "in Focus" or "out of Focus" when he was driving or not driving.

Yesterday I saw a certain Honda vehicle and thought of the following joke.

"I hear you've traded in your Ford for a Honda.  You're now out of Focus and in your Element."

Another of our coffee pals thought of the following after the Focus owner left.

"I hear you've traded in your Ford for a Nissan.  You're now out of Focus and in Infiniti."
