Those are your bread and butter products that make the bucks. Think outside of the scope of what WE would want, and more about what the average car buyer buys, because they outnumber us at least 15:1
Could have sworn I covered that when I stated

That being said, they do need to offer appealing cars to buyers who are either not interested in performance oriented cars or can't afford them.
It seems like most the US companies have more success selling cars that were designed in other countries. The Focus was much better than the escort it replaced and the LX platform uses technology from the previous gen Mercedes Chassis.

I think they should bring the ford mondeo back over here as a contour again.




And they definitely need to bring the falcon. RWD, Choice of n/a or turbo I6, and also v8.





Shit there is an upscale model too. Just re-badge that as a lincoln or something.
