If Mazda is Ford, and Mazda got the new Gen. 2 Focus chassis for the Mazda3... why don't we all just petition Mazda? Apparently they have more pull than we do.
Also, the Volvo S40 is the Gen. 2 chassis as well, is it not? Why not argue for a diesel-powered Volvo? It might detract from their "Superman" styling of late, but it's still a Volvo after all.
EDIT - I saw a guy with a Ford PowerStroke or somesuch new F350 Diesel practically LIQUIFY the tires on his pickup the other day. Apparently he had a tune and a nice big 4-5" MBRP exhaust on there. It sounded like it was going to shear the tarmac from the roadbed. :o
