This is very true...it just blows my mind why they don't just introduce that one into the US market. It's an excellent car, I've seen it firsthand this past summer in Italy. Additionally, Ford stopped making the hatchback version of their Focus in the USA for 2008. That was their most attractive small car. Dumb management, Ford needs an influx of new blood with an eye for design.
Yeah. Right. Next thing ya know Ford'll be sponsoring an automotive design show on Speed channel entitled "Queer Eye for the Street Guy."
