My biggest complaint about Ford in recent years has been the lack of sporty compact cars. Not unlike everybody here I'm sure, I prefer a smaller car to an overloaded SUV. So if you look at the lineup now, what options do we have? Focus? I think not, not V6 ( I like torque ) Taurus? No 5-speed. Mustang? Maybe, but not as practical as the contour certainly is.
Many of the imports car companies have that 4-door sports car in their lineup that Ford doesn't have.
Maxima, Altima, TL and RL IS300 Accord V6...etc. It seems sometimes that Ford forgets that there are people out there that want to buy a domestic car, but are forced to look elsewhere, because Ford has deceided to put on their SUV goggles.(not unlike beer goggles)
Either way I got my SVT and I am hanging on to it.
