Ford's Fantasia,
If it comes close to the Contique's as a drivers car- Ford Finesse, If the bean counters destroy it like the Contique's - Ford Farce, and If someone has enough common sense and allows a Common Rail Diesel option The Ford Frugal.
American's are missing the boat without a Diesel option. But then too many Americans are clueless about the new technology (much more viable that Band-Aid Hybrids) (a laptop sized Nimh battery pack Jeeze).
The technology is there and the EPA (alias Gestapo) is not allowing diesel cars.????? At least not Visteon, ie: the new 2.7L diesel Jag option, system controls, electronics and development is Delphi's???? Specs 206 Hp, 360 ft-lb. @1800 and 40.3 mpg overall and at steady state interstate 47.3 mpg. Everyday I run into new technology that would beclean enough to satisfy most Americans, but not the EPA?? Ie 2007 regs update. Someone besides our government is controlling the EPA? Just some food for thought folks. This is a great country and I'd like to see it stay that way for our grand children.
