WTF!!!! Why does ford need to replace good cars?? Focus replaced Escort, I think escorts were better. Maybe this futura needs to be looked at before I judge it...




Here is a concept drawing:





I have to say, that despite the fact that some people like the Escort, the Focus still seems to be well liked by the people who review the car (the "experts"). Despite the fact that the Taurus may be a nice car, if the (still-to-be-named) Futura is the improvement it should be, maybe Ford can finally compete along with the 500 in the mid-sized market, where it is getting completely whipped by Honda and Toyota, which currently make superior products. I love my Contour, but if it hadn't been given to me, I never would have thought to look toward Ford for a car.

Besides, it looks like Ford is finally getting back on its styling feet and establishing a brand identity, which is nice to see, considering it's had one in Europe for ages.
