So GG,
Which one of these Euro-Transplants don't you want that a ton of Ford Engr's here are working their @$$es off to bring over here?
The Ford C-MAX, I am an average sized, and I fit great in the middle seat in the back, (yes it is a 5 seater, almost like a small mini van it is so roomy)
The Ford Fiesta
The Ford Mondeo....
The Ford Transit Connect, great vehicle for a small business like wedding cake bakery IMHO...
The Ford Kuga, Car and Driver liked this one a lot in their last issue of cars they feel we need now....
SO DO YOU STILL THINK IT IS A BAD IDEA TO GIVE THEM A BRIDGE LOAN SO THEY CAN BRING THESE HERE SINCE AT THE CURRENT BURN RATES THEY MIGHT RUN OUT OF CASH? OR DO YOU GIVE THEM A BRIDGE LOAN?
I have a certain loyalty to Chrysler. We've been driving minivans ever since they came out with them and have never had a major repair bill. The one we have now gets an average of over 23 mpg and that includes city driving. It gets 31 mpg on open highway.
The problem is these cars last for a very long time. My husband took my last one away from me at about 180,000 mi. I did not want to give it up. Why? It was still running perfectly.
Ford Mondeo - made in europe
ford fiesta - to be made in mexico
ford fusion - currently made in mexico
ford transit - made in turkey
ford c-max - made in germany
anyone else see a pattern here?
I still think it’s a bad idea. By the way, how much more auto insurance would one have to pay on these lighter cars?
