Everytime anyone mentions Ford, all I can do is sigh. Yeah, they have some bad-ass cars, but I can't help but feel let down, and almost betrayed by our beloved American auto. I mean, Henry Ford started the mass production of cars, and he started here, dammit, in America!
So, why the hell are the Europeans getting all of the good stuff. For the past decade or so, the Euros have been getting all of the fancy, cool looking, as well as good handling fun cars. Have you seen the last two generation of the Focus. Jesus!
But, have you seen the Euro version? No, well, it looks and drives a hell of a lot better. Autoblog, another car blog, but ALOT larger than mine, has recently posted,
"Having driven the current European Focus in sporty ST trim and with the even hotter RS version rolling off the assembly line, we can tell you that our friends across the Atlantic have one fine-handling hatchback on their hands. And for the next generation, Ford is planning to give the Focus the styling and rakish profile its chassis deserves. The next Focus, which we hope will replace the American version as well, will spawn several body-styles."
I've even read reviews about the Ford Mondeo, another Ford car we don't get, is a great car! Hopefully, Ford has finally come to their senses and realized they have neglected their family back home, and decide to give us the Euro versions of their cars.
I mean, how could you not want a street legal version of their rally car Focus, which is based on the Euro focus!
I am shocked to read this. I hate how companies which are part of American culture do not appreciate their homeland. It makes me angry when I hear cases such as this. How can the same company that makes the Mustang turn around and do this. It is a slap in the face to Americans.
ReplyDeleteIs that an All Wheel Drive Focus?? It's strange seeing a ford with that European Styling. I bet if they brought that to America it would be a big hit with people in the market for a car like the Subaru WRX STI or Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.
