That glorified Brat is hideous.

The car has the lines of the GTO. As usual with an Aussie car, they look like everything else, boring.

The car looks alright, but as someone else said it reminds me of the new GTO.

That Ranger looks sweet. And they haven't redesigned ours in what... 100 years. That thing is pretty cool. 4 doors and a deisel. What is Ford waiting for?
That Mondeo is a nice looking car too. Why does Ford have cooler cars in other countries when they are an AMERICAN company. All the cool BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes' are in Germany, not the U.S. Makes sense, doesn't it?
No wonder they're in trouble.
