i read somewhere (was it Automobile?) that they won't bring the new focus over here because they feel it'll be sufficient for the US market. . .it's tougher in Europe, I guess, we're just apparently stupid americans who only buy SUVs, not little 4 bangers and strong wicked V6s. . .

Hopefully I'll get a polite response in here before someone jumps down your throat. That's a Mondeo, the European cousin (brother?) of the Contour. basicly, Ford killed the contour over here but kept making the Modeo over there, and that is the 3rd generation of it.

I'm pretty sure he knew it was a mondeo, atleast I hope so, but hes right it does look like a focus on steroids.
and I would also like that intake/engine cover/whatever, someone buy one and test it!

Are you kidding me?
I think the UIM is beautiful, why you wanna cover that sucka up?
First thing i thought when i saw the engine bay pic is, he needs to rip that cover off.
...If you wanna spruce up the UIM, paint it.
