Yup, and we are still jealous that you guys get it and we don't.

The only thing is the Focus has to be cheaper by the right amount, since diesel is so much higher in cost. Frustrating to see it a dollar more per gallon.

 

I hate the Prius. It is just the wrong way to go about the right thing.

In the real world it has nothing on a Corolla.

 

What!? The Prius runs on petrol? That's impossible, inconceivable even! There is no way that it does not run on warm, fuzzy thoughts, hugs and kisses, and recycled hummingbird urine.

And that ghastly Focus running on diesel! That's the fuel of Satan.

:bang::bang:

Why do we even bother? We could all rally outside Ford's NA headquarters building with the loudest megaphone ever, and they would still not let go of their delusion that the only vehicle Americans want to buy is an F150.:rant:

x982! :thumbup:

I hate the Prius and all the people driving them that are just automatically convinced that they are better than all the other "polluters" on the road.

 

I see one woman on my way into work every morning, driving he little '07 Prius at like Mach 1 down the highway. Sure, she drives a hybrid.... but I think at that point I'm still getting better milage per tank, lol.

Rule #1.... people are stupid and will believe what they want regardless of the facts.

Yeah, a dollar more a gallon but you go almost three times as far on the gallon of diesel so who cares if it costs a little more.

I get mid to high 20's in my SVT average, I don't know how anyone has ever achieved better than low 30's with an SVT. No way it'll average that.

Bring on the Diesel Focus!!!

 

can we all petition ford to give us a deisel option when they bring over the euro spec focus in 2010. i already decided to get one and now if i can't get a deisel here i"ll have one imported from europe right side drive and all

 

If you can do a focus diesel like a diesel truck? Modify it like 3k an double almost triple the hp/tq! Id so get that..

 

Prius has:

Less CO2 Pollution (which has nothing to do with global warming)
Electrical technology (which introduces a Hyper Ecotoxic battery setup)
Status for people who like to say they're 'green' (and sniff their own farts)

well we got rid of the commissioner douche that replaced most of the county vehicles with priuses but his protégé probably won't be much better.

It is just the wrong way to go about the right thing.

yep

:lol: :lol: That is classic! :thumbup:

 

Wow I'm glad I live in SoCal.

Diesel is only 40 to 50 cents more than regular in my neck of the woods.

 

Prius winner IMO.

Really?! I would give my left nut before i drove a prius

 

I hate the Prius more than James May hates Germans.

 

The theory behind the Prius is good, but what people actually do with it is wrong. In order to get the most from a car like that, you need to change your driving habits to get the most from the hybrid drive. You're still polluting just as much as everyone else, you're just able to drive farther doing it. I think the Prius is way too complicated and I would never buy one. I've gotten 38mpg on my 05 ZX3 before, good enough for me! It's really all about your driving style.

Yeah, same here. I wish I had a turbo diesel.
