Why would they be a loser to buy it? It’s a hot hatch and any reasonable person shopping in that segment will consider it especially if the performance is there.

The Focus always did look up to its big brother!

Less of a feature and more of a bad hack.

It seems you’re not familiar with the historical significance of the medium.

I have no love for this and I actually like the base car.

Mustang strikes again!

The best kind of deck!

The guy likely knows a story is coming and is willing to say whatever gets the most emotional impact to get his money back. The fact that he is owed money doesn’t seem to be in dispute.

As a niche product.

Trucks have only got more expensive over the years. A decent truck is $40k easy not to mention the various $65k+ top trims.

We are all free to our own devices but I would put additional scrutiny on VW claims.

That’s actually not quite right. VW is a confirmed cheat and its well understood that someone willing to cheat once is willing to do so again. At this point all VW statements that aren’t verified true by an unrelated 3rd party are suspect.

We lacked emissions test evidence for some time as well but oh look, some found its way out.

The rear is just bad all around. It really does ruin the look of the car as it only looks good from the front. Side profile and rear ends are downright ghastly.

I think you forgot about the torque and power delivery characteristics of turbocharged engines. Typically you see significantly more torque throughout the RPM range.

My wifes ambulance bill from a recent accident was closer to $2,000 before insurance.

I think the first thing you would need to do is place it near a Mustang so that you can total it for that sweet drivetrain.

So like Tesla then?

I’m actually excited for this to start!

Ditto, I’ve liked it since the beginning, especially once they got into full swing in season 2.
