Well, slightly off the point here but why don't you go test drive an Edge?

I went for a test drive with my brother in law and I have to say I was seriously impressed with it.

Super smooth, quiet, comfotable and lots of power. Not half bad looking either if you ask me.

"Hello, Ford? The '90's called they want their car back."

Atleast that escort was a hatchback.

"Why buy new when slightly used will do?"

I wonder if Canada is getting the shaft too or if we could border hop? Luckily I am a couple years out and Ford might have a hatch car for me by the time I am looking again. Funny isn't it the Asian and European car manufactures are flooding the market with hatches and Ford pulls theirs. Maybe they can't compete, won't compete with the rest knowing they have turned a decent car into a marginal car totally ignoring the efforts over the pond.

PINTO FOR THE MFW!

You're looking the wrong direction. You can buy the 2nd gen Focus ST 2.5 turbo in Mexico.

I'm sure thats a much better market for a high end Focus than the states

Silly, silly, silly. Well I guess it's true and you can't say that it's the North American Ford that's f'd up it's the United States Ford in Michigan....someone needs to bitch slap them across the chops!
