Ford's 65MPG Due In November, But Not In the US
computermesh writes "Ford has a vehicle that gets 65MPG and will not be released in the US. Why? Because they can not afford to! 'Ford's 2009 Fiesta ECOnetic goes on sale in November. But here's the catch: Despite the car's potential to transform Ford's image and help it compete with Toyota Motor (TM) and Honda Motor (HMC) in its home market, the company will sell the little fuel sipper only in Europe. "We know it's an awesome vehicle," says Ford America President Mark Fields. "But there are business reasons why we can't sell it in the U.S." The main one: The Fiesta ECOnetic runs on diesel.'"
Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors will be OUT of business by November 2009. China made a call to The White Bunker and told President-VICE Cheney to get his fat ass out of Iraq by Jan. 2009 OR they would sell ALL U.S. treasury bonds held by China.
Put that in your in crack pipe Sarah Palin and INHALE.
Bitch.
Ford sells cars? Wow, I need to pay more attention.
Prediction: The real iPhone killer is going to be sex robots from Japan. Think about it.
Oil sands in Ontario??? You mean Alberta, but hey, what's 3000 kilometres....
... One reason they can't sell them in the US is because they put the steering wheel on the wrong side - Idiots.

Exactly. Ontario is always trying to screw Alberta.
I well imaging that a Fiesta could be run over by a Hummer or a F250 and it be mistaken for a speed hump.
but hey, what's 3000 kilometres....

Get the fuck out, useless telemarketer. In THIS forum, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
It's been a long time.
You know, it sounded like you may have had a point, but I really don't feel like picking it out of all that rage. Start taking decaf and then come back and try to make whatever point it was you were trying to.
Yes, rednecks as opposed to idiots.
People bitch and moan about the high cost of fuel, and yet they don't do anything about driving slower.
Actually, I believe people with the big-honkin' SUVs started driving slower when gas was over $4.00 per gallon.
The problem was that they wouldn't get out of the left-hand lane! I appreciate them doing their part to save gasoline, but do they have to do it right in front oh me?!
Save gas on your own time! :^)
Cars in Europe run on rich history and generations-old tradition. That's how they get such great gas mileage.
It's been a long time.
If I recall my history correctly, that would be the Stonecutters.
maybe OP drove more carefully, cause dang that premium is expensive!
man, I feel like mold.

Geez, some people never learn.

Are you aware of the environmental destruction caused by rubber harvesting for bike tires? Where does the grease for your gears come from? Planet rapist.
