I'm surprised Ford dosen't have ABS standard on their vehicles. GM has had ABS standard on even the Cavalier since 1992 (even though ABS is optional on the Impala, while STILL standard on Cavalier, Malibu, etc...) I remember I read a few weeks ago Ford's reason for NOT having it standard; Texas didn't need it. It's the only thing I've heard where minority rules 49:1. Ford should have ABS standard on ALL models, even the Focus LX. Even if it is optional, pay the $500 and get it. $500 is a small price considering on what you pay for body work these days, even if you only use ABS once, it'll pay for itself.
