Could a ford be in your future?
i'll take one of these first:
BMW 1-series coupe- 300hp/300lb ft!!!
Like, WHOA.
If the dealership can keep the prices around 30k, it'll be a hit.

BMW 1-series coupe- 300hp/300lb ft!!!
Like, WHOA.
On sale in the spring of 2008, the 1 Series Coupe will be available in two versions; the 128i and the 135i. Powered by a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline 6-cyinder engine that generates 200 lb-ft of torque, the 128i Coupe will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum/magnesium contruction—core elements of BMW’s EfficientDynamics. The powerful 135i Coupe features BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and an incredible 300 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1,400 rpm. With its direct piezo gasoline injectors, twin low-mass turbochargers and air-to-air intercooling, optimum performance and economy is achieved with no loss in engine response. For the 135i Coupe, acceleration from 0-62 mph is accomplished in 5.3 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. Both engines feature on-demand engine coolant pumps that improve fuel economy and reduce parasitic losses for increased output.

Let's compare that with the number of entries into Le Mans Subaru has had

So the Subaru Impreza has finished higher in JGTC standings every year it has competed than Ford. See, that's true too, but absolutely pointless.
Wins in the 60's and 70's in an enduro race with a hand-built race car are really good indicators of the build quality of modern US Fords, too. Thanks for pointing that out.

If Ford would only bring over a handfull of the cars they offer in Europe to the US I think they could really turn things around.
Then again I've got two Nissans and a Subaru in my driveway.
It'd take quite a bit for me to want to buy a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Jeep, etc. I hesitate to say an "american car" because lots of folks have plants in the US now!

I once liked Mustangs, like the 1986 SVO.

Because they had a well made Turbo Four

But that part of me died the moment I test drove my Suby.
