Sure looks intersting...wish the MS2 existed. Ford finally acknowledges customers in NA want hot hatches. A definite MS3 competitor me thinks. Can't wait to check it out.

It's almost mind boggling how much Ford has stepped up their game over the last couple of years. It's amazing what happens when you actually start listening to what your customers want...a lesson GM will apparently NEVER learn. Hatches are hot and hopefully this will compete well with the GTI, Speed3, and Subie. I already cringe when thinking about what GM will try to come up with as an answer for this car.

Yeah I agree. It just goes to show what an excellent CEO Mulally is. He is the guy responsible for Ford's turn around and worth every dime Ford had to pay him. Unfortunately, his contract is up in a few years. If Ford can put a CEO in with the same sense of urgency and same ability to see what is going on, the company will continue to take market share.

GM is still a lost ship with no clear product strategy. Most of what they have is half ***. Buick is about the only division that seems to have a decent product line but it will take years to convince people to step into a Buick showroom.
