True. The Messerschmidt 109 had a direct injected inverted V12 in the '30s, supplied by Daimler-Benz. The original 300SL also had direct injection.
As for Foci, I haven't owned one, but I've driven several and they are surprisingly fun for a wrong wheel drive economy car. At the expense of big doors and large trunk space, you could look at the Mazda MX-5/Miata. It's like an MGB that you don't have to work on all the time.
