'Focii' is wrong for two reasons:
  • English treats proper nouns as English words when a plural is required. That's why the American gangster series is The Sopranos and not The Soprani.

  • The Latin plural of focus is foci. It is used in English, notably for the two point that define an ellipse.


    • At least focus is a Latin word, unlike 'Lexus'.

    Incidentally, if all Latin-derived car names were to use Latin plurals, Volvos would have to be Volvamus.
