Either that's a really lousy side road parking job, or someone REALLY needs to consider buying a Yaris for 2014...
Drove a rental 2012 Focus Titanium for a few days last month. It was a nice car. Tight and responsive. Decent power (but it was new - long term, who knows). It did have issues with the traction control, however. Would intermittently kick in on dry pavement, and continue to engage every time you stepped on the gas. Had to stop and shut the car off to reset it.
Correction: If they had any taste, judgement, or appreciation for driving, they wouldn't have built those land barges. What they had was greed and egos and complete disrespect for the public, like much of America in the 50s.
Giving people what they want. Like Harley-Davidson of today. It works.
Greed? The F150 truck is Fords best selling vehicle.....should they stop producing those?
On the other end of the spectrum was the EV1 electric vehicle.....evidently the govt and/or oil companies didnt like that idea.
That's the biggest punch line! H-D are still stuck deep in the 50s, greed, egos, and poor judgement intact!
You'll need to flesh that out for me. I don't understand how greed, ego and poor judgement is time sensitive.
Talking about the glory days of american cars here. There was no EV1 in the 50s. The F-100 was actually a sensible, practical, efficient vehicle with none of the pretentious garb that adorned what we worship as 'nostalgia' cars now. The F-150 is an even more competitive product now, and this is in a market with many times more competition.
As I said, the glory days are now.
In time, these things get you killed, à la
AMC
Checker
DeSoto
Hummer
Mercury
Nash
Packard
Plymouth
Pontiac
Oldsmobile
Saturn
Studebaker
we're probably talking about different things.........
No one held guns to all the Americans and Canadians who bought those gas guzzling SUVs during the 90s. Or perhaps everyone was duped into thinking they needed a Lincoln Navigator to drive their kids to daycare.
