They give special military discounts and stuff. *cries* WHY FORD WHY?<BR/><BR/>It looks like an awesome car though! I hope it does well!

Delayed maybe to have final assembly in the US and not Mexico, with the Big 3 already owing $25 billion to the taxpayers and begging for more?<BR/><BR/>- The gallery seems to be featuring the five-door model pretty extensively. :)<BR/><BR/>-No word on a manual transmission in the press release, but there's one in the gallery interior shot- surely they're not pulling a Toyota on us? (And if they ARE, would it have been that hard to take an interior shot of a Euro automatic, come to think of it?)nlpnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925589671848667697noreply@blogger.com
