    Actually, I kind of agree with their logic. They make a great hot hatch and tons of other cars. None make money except the trucks, SUV and Mustangs. I kind of see them as doing the Porsche model to a certain extent. They keep true to what people "like" about the ford brand. Trucks and Mustangs. The 4 door is kind of like the panamera... as I look at it more. Now I cannot believe I'm getting ready to say this as I hated the Panamera looks, but that 4 door mustang looks pretty decent. Not that I'm going to buy one..

    Heck man nothing wrong with a live axle & cart springs. If it was good enough for the Roman chariots it should be good enough for you & me. ;)

    I raced an old Japanese crap wagon & that live axle & leaf springs were so much fun. Hit the bumps just right & the rear end would jump over a couple of feet tightening your line. Big fun if you knew it was coming. If not then the nomex undies might get skid mark. :eek:

    I would think that the Germans have a similar process to Phase-Gate in conjunction with a Monte Carlo type cost analysis system relative to the launch process of a new product. As the managers move up in the system they become so indoctrinated with corporate drivel that if told the sky is green, they nod in acknowledgement.

    I can just picture the BMW echelon all meeting with a Google type Beanie in Roundel color scheme upon their heads.

    For some reason I just cannot picture Dave in a beanie . . . . . .
