Happy talk by FoMoCo, but I'll believe it when I drive 'em...
On our last trip to Scotland, in 2K, we had a Ford Focus
for 10 days and 1600+ miles: 8 years ago this "Euro Focus"
had big wheels, fat tires, a slick man. trans, handled like a
go cart, was quick&fast, and got great mpg. This was a
Hertz rental...Ford hasn't sold a car like that 8+ yr old model
in this country in decades, (some 'Stangs excluded.)
The many times I've driven a "US mfg'er brand" in Europe has
always left me wondering how those kinds of cars never get
to the states. FoMoCo will be gobbled up or broke before any
of their euro models/fun stuff gets here, imo.
