FoMoCo USA's solution right in front of their faces (dial-up warning)

I was surfing my usual Auto News haunts and noticed a string of amazing looking Fords....... that we can't get. I don't know about you guys, but this looks like a solution. Why do our factories build Escapes when they could be making Kugas? So to put things in perspective, I'll post a picture of what they get, and what we get in the same class. It all seems a bit obvious now why domestics are taking such a shiznit kicking.

Ford is just teasing us right?

Allen Mullaly at the press conference:

"No I didn't say we are making the Cougar, I said we are making the Kuga."

Teasing us? I don't even think they know we exist.

That little green one (Fiesta?) is coming in 2010.

The Kuga is cool, and the Mondeo is breathtaking (why, Ford, WHY, won't you bring us this car???) but I'd take the Edge over that black thing (not the Fusion, the weird SUV-ish one) any day...

...not that I'd take either

The third one, the KUGA...Form that angle the rear glass is reminiscent of a Dodge Caliber.  I know it does indeed look different, but from that angle I got the shivers....

Not true.....Just go ahead and use 'Mustang' on a calendar and watch how fast they notice you.

Many long time fans are fed up with Ford and their antics.

Besides...people asked for a new Taurus and they got a new Taurus...well OK, a re-badged 500. :screwy:

That green top one was at the Chicago Auto Show. It wasn't called the Fiesta I think they called it the Verve or something. It was  nice. I'm hoping they bring it here in a year or so as I will be in the market for a new car then.
