Well, to me it is still a Ford! I have a personal bias against the company. I hate the tail lights up so high, that always bothered me on vehicles and the front end looks so small to me (maybe it is just the design) and I don't care for the shape of the headlights. >For comparison: in the UK tv show about > cars Top Gear the Focus RS lapped faster around their test track than > a Subaru Impreza WRX, despite being FWD only. Hmmm, I like the looks of the WRX better, as for speed I always leaned more towards low end, off the line because that is what I'd actually use in my driving. Side note: I like those TV shows and have not watched one in a while now.
