...and Mustang flatulence. It's right there clear as day......

I have some bad news for you.

GM is going to build a RWD, brown, diesel wagon with a manual transmission?

The NHTSA would oppose this as vehemently as possible to protect their jobs. Unified vehicle codes = fewer stupid pencil pushers to monitor car imports and crush/seize classic cars.

The US has much stricter diesel laws. That's why we require urea injection here.

It's leisurely, not dreadfully slow. There's a difference. Most people under normal commuting conditions don't accelerate even that fast.

Take their 2-cylinder-engined car away?

In Dubai, if the car dies, it's not a big deal - they just buy another one.

A real manual would be better, but I still prefer them to slushboxes.
As much flak as CVTs take, I actually like them. No pointless revving above the powerband.

Do not want.

Whoa! Looks like they've tweaked the interior design to fix the things I don't like about my 2012 Focus! Better HVAC control iconography, more tactile reference points, lock/unlock moved to door, revised media controls, seat heat controls moved to where I can glance at not look down to, revised steering wheel…

Under laboratory situations, rats can perform small miracles with high doses of anabolic steroids and amphetamines. And then they die.

I'll get mad if they don't offer it with an automatic, then cancel it because no one bought it, saying that the small engine was the reason it wasn't a big seller.

It's an American car company. Screwing up car launches is what they do best.

I was thinking it looks like he has the runs and has been trying to hold back through an entire press conference.

...and when the airbag blows you'll have "ytrewq" embedded in your forehead forevermore.

QNX predates BlackBerry. It's a very robust, real-time version of Unix, the operating system that's the inspiration for Linux and OS X. BB bought the technology in 2010.

New Ford steering wheel?
