Before I came to america I imagined that all of the cars looked like those that I'd seen on Kojak or Starsky and Hutch or even The Dukes of Hazzard.
America was a land that loved driving. Its vast scale had been conquered by extravagant cars that gave people the freedom that they craved and reflected the optimism of the times.
They were cars that looked like rocket ships. Cars that exuded belief in the future. Cars that didn't just take people from A to B... they actually moved people.
So imagine my disappointment when I got here and found that this sad automotive appliance is the best selling car in America. Looking like a tranny's cock after an incident with an oven this melted phallus is just to bland for words.
Where did the fins go people?

By the way... the new Ford Focus is hideous... tell them will you? ;p
The Euro focus is one hell of a car though
And the US Focus has Sync - which basically turns the car into KITT.
You tell it you want to hear madonna singing Hanky Panky and it searches your I-Pod and plays it through the stereo.
You wanna call Madonna - you say 'Call madonna' and it puts you right through.
You get a text message from Madonna you say 'Read it' and it reads it to you
All in a car that does 35mpg to the US Gallon (42 to the UK Gallon) despite having a 140bhp 2.0L engine as standard... and costing 7,000 of your UK pounds.
Styling though.... I see where you're coming from. But at least the Euro styling is telegraphic... I see it and I know how the car will drive
Good sales pitch Mr Ford.
Truth i they've been building great cars for years, the Mondeo has been a value beamer-killer for ages. But I liked the Ka and the old Focus look, the new one... hmmm. Saw one in bright orange, was a shock to the system I can tell you... like a day-glo bull-dozer...
And it's big, remember how dinky the old old escort was... ah them were the days... 3 kids in the back with no belts skyting around on the pvc, chain smoking parents and trying to get the old crate up to 90 without flying off the road...
