I was sort of curious about the Fiesta until I found out about its issues. Focus was even worse with the transmissions.

I knew Fiesta was garbage but thought the Focus wasn't that bad. Just not very appealing.

So, Ford is going to stop selling cars since no one wants to buy cars anymore.
Yet, Tesla has almost 500,000 orders for the entry level vehicle.
It sure resembles a car to me.......
Is there something wrong with this logic?

Ford should have stopped selling cars after the Model A. They should have never sold trucks---nothing but junk.

58 years ago (when I was 12) I got my first "motorcycle". A 1957 sears 50cc moped. I was the terror of the countryside---still am to a certain degree.

Does anyone else find it ironically contradicting that Dodge's new tagline is "Domestic. Not Domesticated." while for their Ram trucks they use "Built To Serve." Those are almost polar opposite of each other in meaning.

I see GM is going with a fricken 4 cylinder engine for their full size pickups. Great mileage but can't pull a popcorn fart without losing 3/4 of its mpg.

But enough torque to pull a house down.

They are great motors.

The first generation ISBs are especially noisy, but pretty reliable apart from the lift pumps.
