Meh, it always looks like the criticism gets wielded whenever they’re outstandingly agregious, a la Crashtor (who won 1 race, at least) or Karthikeyan (anyone remember him?). Alex Yoong? Taki Inoue? Yuji Ide? Chanoch Yissany? These guys get dumped on justifiably for being bad but are always given a meh-pass because…

The criticism of those men has always been there. You’re just not noticing it.

FTFY.  Yes, I went there. :p

This isn’t entirely accurate....

In large part, the US Navy is the World Navy. It is responsible for keeping the peace and protecting global trade, which we benefit from enormously. Its not exactly fair, but sometimes the best peace policy is overwhelming force. Its worked since 1945 at keeping humanity out of enormously destructive global conflicts,…

I always liked “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying SouthWest. If you look out the left side of the plane you’ll see Delta Flight 176. Give them a wave so they can see what a full airplane looks like.”

No, not really. Performance really isn’t a relevant metric anymore for individuals who aren’t car enthusiasts, and most of the U.S. population has no interest in it as a result.

There is an HTML joke in there somewhere

Considering Ford owned Mazda when the Mazdaspeed came out and Mazda said they won’t be doing Mazdaspeed anytime soon... I’ll allow this.

That’s the best looking Mazdaspeed 3 yet. 

I find it amazing that someone greenlights cars like the Buick Cascada, but cars like this don’t make the cut?  Yeah, two different brands, but the point is that a shit car like Cascada, which has minimal sales, is somehow worthwhile, but this isn’t?

Sadly, it got cancelled because of the Trump tariffs... 

Pretty sure they cancelled that one for us.

Personally I don’t find the design unattractive, just too Hyundai/generic compact. Without the Ford badge it would be kind of hard for someone without much knowledge of cars to guess the brand.

“Oh but it’s okay guys, because we offer the new EcoSport in America instead!”

Now the Ford Focus is just a Ford Blurry in America.

Did they end up settling on which track configuration they’ll be running for Indy? Is it the same as F1?
