No, it's NOT just you!
Allow me to put my twist on it...
I never owned an 'import' in my life - until 2000. I hated them - as many of you still do!!!
That all changed when gas went to $1.699 for a brief period around the turn of the century.
After looking at everything available, I stepped out of my Caddy Coupe deVille Lowrider (affectionately called "The Gangsta Car" by my crew) into a Honda CiViC HX Coupe.
It took me a few years to get into the 'import scene' - lookin' good while passin' the pump - but I finally figured it out - had it figured out WAY before sites like this existed!
I also figured out how to have my cake and eat it too! Hence, my current ride - a lightweight, slammed, rice rocket with 160+ hp swap, 40+ mpg, and 10-inch boom box...
Truthfully, I've never had anybody beat me in a street race. 2 guys kept up with me bumper-for-bumper. Plus, I don't know anybody that gets more FE than me with a B16A2. It's a marriage made in heaven!
The reason I keep putting single quotes around 'import' is because my ride was designed by a domestic Honda team in San Diego, Cali - and built by domestic workers in Maryville, Ohio - out of 80% domestic parts... more domestic parts than any other vehicle I own. And, the custom work was done by domestic gang-bangers in Monterey Park, Cali (L.A.). Sooo...
I guess my point is: If Honda can do it, Ford
could do it, but...
They won't! And, even if they did, ppl won't buy it!
Why? Because it ain't a Honda CiViC - the #1 selling car in America (the last I heard) and the most stolen car (several years running), I might add!
The only thing Ford makes "worth buying" are their trucks - which are simply excellent!
Forget Ford cars. Ford F-Series Super Duty FTW - something Honda couldn't build if you put a gun in their mouth!!!
