Well, I guess most people share my point of view.. There are so many options in the market and Ford is definitely losing grasp of the market. However, this is only true is North America. European sales have actually helped overall growth and will continue to do so. The Ford Focus is Europe is seen as an entry level luxury car which differentiates itself from its place in North America as an entry level economy car. There are quite a bit of "goodies" over the ocean when it comes to the Focus.. In fact, even the new Caterham CSR 260 uses a naturally aspirated 2.3 Ford Duratec pushing a good 260hp thanks to another European only name: "Cosworth". A ZX3 w/ a 6 speed running this type of motor will instantly drop into the high 13s. B)

I hope Ford really revives itself in North America. Perhaps they don't see itself in such a predicament with so many other lines and brands to channel in revenue. I hope in the next year or so they make some real revelations to keep the Ford blood pumping through those who are still partial to them.. If there are any of us left.. :rolleyes:
