Daytime Running Lights... and good Ford sales in Europe...

As of 1.1.2002 all cars manufactured in
Europe will be fitted with DRLs. However
in order to save fuel "LMAO" cars will
only be fitted with small frontal DRLs
that need less power then regular DRLs.
DRLs are not mandatory in Europe, but
the evidence is overwhelming that they
increase the safey of those that have
them.
"This slow reacting reminds me of the
French air force in WW1 which refused
to give its pilots chutes... cause they
would bail before the fight..."
Also... Ford factories in Europe are
running extra shifts as the demand for
their low priced Focus and Fiesta models
is very high.
Example:
All with same equipment prices in US$ (based on Swiss prices)
Ford Focus 2.0L 136hp costs around $13950
Opel Astra 2.2L 147hp costs around $16750
VW Golf 1.8T 150hp costs around $19150
Price has an effect here as the Astra is not
selling well but the Golf is...
Regards,
Coolknight
