Not bad, I need to see it in person to give a real opinion though. It looks kinda expensive for a small hatch car. If Ford keeps it under $25K, they might have a winner here!

I think part of the reason why the "Americanized" Ford bring-overs from Europe have been so crappy compared to their overseas counterparts is that they have to cheapen them up so much over here in order to get ppl to buy them. In this country any compact car that sells for over 20K is considered ridiculous by most ppl. These little cars are so awesome in Europe, but they cost alot more there too. Tell someone that they can get a new Focus RS with 300+hp and they'll be like "AWESOME!". Then tell them it will cost them 30 grand (or more), and they'll change their tune to "**** that".

I want to replace my mustang.
I originally wanted of course a newer GT. Didn't have to have the newest gt 5.0.
Than I wanted a ford Taurus sho.
Now I just want this fully loaded. LOVE this and I hate hatches. I only it was all wheel drive and an i5
