No, most people do like the Bangle Butt.
Why would you keep so many cars/bikes in one place? Because you like them and it’s fun to collect them.
I’m not convinced that’s purely down to gas taxes.
I really like this idea. Imagine what we could do with it:
I agree with you on early Focuses (Foci?).
The data backs up my hot take. I suspect you’re just bitter because I hit too close to home.
I wouldn’t lump the ST/RS variants in with the rest of the Fiesta/Focus lineup. Those are sweet hot hatches that attract a different audience. I had no interest in Ford, but nonetheless cross shopped the FiST/FoST/Boostang when I bought my WRX.
Dealership proximity plays a major factor. Many people simply aren’t willing to drive more than 30 minutes to a dealership, and in many rural areas, that limits you to maybe 1 or 2 dealerships. It’s Trax or nothing.
“Some 42% of Ford Focus and Chevy Cruze compact car owners have stayed in the compact car segment with a significant percentage buying competitors’ vehicles”
Pagani drove the euro-spec Huayra BC prototype all around NYC and Brooklyn without plates, registration, etc.
It’s actually a scientifically accurate justification, promoted by all traffic engineers across the world.
To be fair, speeding isn’t necessarily dangerous. Deviating from the average speed is dangerous (faster or slower). If the posted limit is 55, but people are averaging 70, the safest thing you could do is speed at 70 mph.
The problem isn’t so much the limited range, but rather the lying range-o meter.
