He's to busy hanging out with pedophile protectors to listen to customers lol.

they can’t charge $70,000 for those though!

I think a fairly basic EV Focus platform would absolutely kill it right now. Ford has the Eluminator motor as a crate engine. Just throw enough battery in there to do 190 miles and people would go nuts.

To be fair it was always the f150 and their truck lines they do gang busters with, but I want small cars not trucks too

In the US for sure, in Europe Focus/Fiesta/Mondeo were everywhere. I'd have thrown money at them if they still made a Mondeo estate, as it stands it'll be VAG because that's what exists.

I sold my Fiesta before a cross-country move and if I'd known I was never going to be able to get a small car again I would have paid to have it shipped...
