      To be fair it was always the f150 and their truck lines they do gang busters with, but I want small cars not trucks too

        In the US for sure, in Europe Focus/Fiesta/Mondeo were everywhere. I’d have thrown money at them if they still made a Mondeo estate, as it stands it’ll be VAG because that’s what exists.

          I sold my Fiesta before a cross-country move and if I’d known I was never going to be able to get a small car again I would have paid to have it shipped…

      I think a fairly basic EV Focus platform would absolutely kill it right now. Ford has the Eluminator motor as a crate engine. Just throw enough battery in there to do 190 miles and people would go nuts.
