Not to mention teh 300c is a luxury car... not an econobox. People who drive those cars generally arent looking for a commuter car that gets insane gas milage.

Espcially when it runs mid to low 13's and has over 400Hp. :rolleyes: :lol:

IT MUST BE EFFICENT WHILE DOING SO...
:lol:
Its too bad they couldnt give the 6.1 MDS.... Unfortunatley the 6.1 averages like 17mpg highway 13mpg City.
Vs the 5.7 - 17mpg City 22-25 HWY

LOL, I mod my car as my tastes and budget see fit. Also, it's still a Focus.
And, for the Nth time, I readily admit that had I known a tad more about them, I would have bought one with a Zetec.
Happy?
And it's significantly improved over stock, yet retains great mileage. Why is that an issue?

I guess you'll be even more offended when chrysler Releases the challenger with the 6.4 hemi
Or the SRT-10 ram. That currently gets 8mpg
and, this is only an issue because you make it an issue.
Instead of saying congrats, nice car... or not saying anything. You Criticize the man for buying the car he wants just because you dont see it being economical.

Nice wheels, although with gas still largely overpriced I wonder why folks willingly bypass a more-efficient offering in the same car and move to the "bend over" selection of engines.
That said, I loved driving the one we had for the wedding last year... with the 3.5L V6. Except the handling. Cornering by Moo Moos Inc. has to go.

And where exactly was the "criticism"? Oh right, there wasn't any. There was honest curiosity that I believed was well-founded upon good fiscal sense and the current state of the economy as regards gas prices.
When you park it, it's the same damn car whether it has the 3.5 or the 6.whatever. The gas pump doesn't care, either... it'll happily sell you more than you would have used otherwise.
Also, note the first two words - nice wheels. :)
