I suppose if they cant afford new rims, how could they afford an upgraded exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it's enough to convince the average Joe Blow. Unfortunately we already have two so called respected journilists by the names of Julian Edgar & Will Hagon who couldn't be more unimpressed by the changes that have been made! they both seem to think Ford could have & should have done more exterior changes!Julian Edgar's opinion is sheer waffle taking zero consideration of marketing and the business and timeframes of automotive product delivery. He also rabbits on about fuel economy and compares a $30k full size sedan to a much cheaper corolla - that's not a proper comparo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.
