The reason that this looks great is that it was not designed by fords design studios in the united states, but its studios in Europe. The line up for ford in Europe is completely different than the crap that we get here, and their cars are consistently voted the best looking, most reliable, and best built cars sold in Europe.

If only they could do that here, they might not be in risk of going out of business.

Alan, I really miss your car posts. You should do more of them! Like, what’s your opinion on the ridiculous “German Engineered” VW Routan (clone of Dodge Voyager)? Even the name is a dyslexic version of a minivan VW produced a couple years ago, VW Touran. I rented a 5-speed version of it while in Germany 4 years ago. It was a true VW, with nice interior, good gas mileage, the ability to keep up at 100 MPH on the Autobahn. Granted, it was smaller than our minivans, but I certainly wasn’t embarrassed to drive it, and that’s not like me and minivans at all!

The only domestic competitor to the high-MPG Toyota Yaris is the Chevy Aveo, which is Korean and not my favorite car. This thing looks modern, and I dare say better than most of the domestic design shite coming out of Ford domestically. One thing’s for sure – I will like the hatch much more than this. I can’t really stand small cars with trunks.

I think the US’s biggest upcoming export is labor. Straight out of Dearborn. The times they are a changin’.
