I had a finance professor who drive a brand new purple-ish Cabrio. His wife was HOT. He was also from Europe so that probably played his role in his car choice.

If its anything like the current focus the cheap plastic is limited to areas below your hips. My 2012 SEL has very little in the way of cheap plastic and feels very upscale.

My sister-in-law had a fiesta SE SFE sedan. The sedan actually has much more cargo area than the hatch if you have the back seat up. Since there was a baby seat in the back the seat was up.

2 things in this picture: The gauges in the 2012 are beautiful. They took a big step backwards for 2013 and are continuing them.

Id I were to design this I would put the power button on the top with the windshield defrost on the left and the max defrost above it. It would make more sense like that because it would be in the same locations that it is in reference to the picture of the person.

did they get rid of the blind spot mirrors? That's one of my favorite features on my 2012 focus.

I do not like the buttons all stacked on one side. How about some symmetry?

Everything during the evolution of mammals lead towards this.

4.) Walmart

I have to agree. I think the 2 absolute dumbest things your can do with a nice (or even a bad car) is do a burnout and drift.

It should be noted, as the article does, that Paice won a similar lawsuit against Toyota — which worked with Ford to develop their systems. We'll be watching this one.

Great... That means he is out there building his own robot army out of view from us to come back and take over the world.

In all honesty, the best burnout I ever saw was on the Berlin Turnpike at McDonalds (CT people will know this). It was a teenage girl in a baby blue Geo Metro 3-cylinder convertible. Having almost no weight over the 165 tire made it light up like nothing I have ever seen before.

unless they are over their 300 GB data cap. Then its $10 for 50 more middle fingers.

In an effort to improve the durability of its leather-wrapped truck seats, Ford hired a firm to enlist the help of men of a certain size: at least 265 pounds. Dressed in dirty jeans, their mission was to climb into the driver's seat, get down and climb up again, at least 10,000 times per truck.

I like trying to find the "new guy" at the dealership. I always ask how long they have been there. If the answer is 3 months or less that is my guy. They are usually still on "probation" and have to prove that they can make a sale. Yes, they spend a lot of time with the sales manager during your sale because they…

EVERYTHING FROM CHINA!

6.) Digital gauges

As a child of the 80's those digital gauges always reminded me of these digital gauges:

However, if the 2060 version of you buys a car that has digital gauges from 2014 you'll laugh and remember the good old days, just like we do now when we see an Apple II or an Aston Martin Lagonda.
