Because the RS is too expensive and too extreme for a lot of people and the FiST is too small. The FoST is pretty good daily driver compromise between the Fiesta and the RS.

“What advantages does this war have over, say, an ethnic cleansing, which I could also afford?”

I’m in my late 40s. That means I was a teenager through much of the 80s. At that time, stuff from the 50s and early 60s constituted classics, in terms of car design. 70s cars just looked outdated. 80s cars were what was new.

They have held their value around the $50-$70k range for the last 3 years that I have been considering buying one, with essentially…

Wing! Hood scoops! Two! Exhausts!

Best thing on Jalopnik yet this week!

this is what Ferucio wanted. Fast, comfy, easy to drive GT, beautiful.
