even still, with gas prices going the way they are i wouldn't be surprised at all to see a turbodiesel hit the streets in some ehicle from ford soon (other than HD trucks!). Who knows, maybe with the american market becoming so much like the UK (gas wise atleast) we'll start seeing similar vehicles.

So like a 20 MPG �£28000 RWD 6 spd s2000 where the revs need to be high to get power, you're getting 56 MPG, �£19-22000 FWD 6 spd Mondeo, which produces nearly 100 g/km LESS CO2.... Clarkson is slipping in my books. You can only think you're right for so long.
