Truer words have never been spoken. Ford has definitely lost their way and I will not be buying one of these frankencars. Why can't they just f***ing bring the Fiesta to Canada as it IS in Europe: it is simply, cleanly styled and looks like a smaller version of the euro focus.

My Focus was written off a month ago, because some f***tard stopped on a yellow light at an red light camera'ed intersection. WORD: if your city gets red light cameras, FIGHT them to the bitter death. They increase the frequency of accidents, they cause more injuries, increase property loss and is a governmental invasion of your privacy.

So instead of getting a used Focus hatch again, I ended up getting the closest thing to the Euro Ford Focus ST, a Volvo S40 T5 awd.

Ford needs to ask itself, if this car was a Volvo, would it sell? What if it were a BMW, would it sell? If they can't see the answer to this, the whole company is doomed.
