My cousin in Chernovtsy (Ukraine) have bought 2 used Fiestas for $400, used one for spare parts. It's running wuite good. You have to understand that Chernovtsy is an old Austro-Hungarian city (30km from Ukraine-Romanian border now) with brick (cobblestone) pavements. I didn't see any car there that had shock-absorbers, they get killed in a matter of days on brick (cube) roads...


  The Fiesta and Festiva are two different autos.

That Scion looks like it fell into a wormhole in the 80's and came out present day...smurfy! Yet it's one of the most popular new vehicles...I don't understand people's sense of taste.

Ford Taurus, especially those late 90 models, everything bad about plastic in one car.

This is ugly and tragic.

Behold the horror of the Lamborghini Diablo Coatl. Apparently, this is a Diablo made by a Mexican company with permission from Lamborghini to be sold in Latin America.

Consider that in addition to the Taurus's jelly-beanish looks, for a long time it was virtually the same price as the VASTLY superior Crown Victoria.  Taurus's with a lot of options actually ran more than base CV's for awhile (remember that a base CV comes with more stuff than is even available for a Taurus, like a V-8).  Even now a decent Taurus (SEL or the wagons) isn't signifigantly cheaper than a CV, despite Ford jacking up the CV's price almost solely for the reason of keeping it more expensive than the Taurus.

The equally uninspired Five Hundred...costs MORE than a Crown Vic.  


I never understood how they sold the Taurus, except it's more "trendy" to own one than a CV.  Never mind that the CV is utterly superior in every possible aspect; apparently people would rather spend their money on an inferior product than be caught in an "old man's car".


Not me.   I'll buy what is good.  Image isn't something I worry about.    My wife is very happy with her Grand Marqis.   Well...she wishes it could move like my Buick.  Not even the Maurauder can do that though :)   Probably why they aren't going to keep making it.

That and the Tempo/Topaz are abominations.  I almost listed it but its such a popular model I was afraid of the backlash!

Being an old Mustang kinda guy I've never really like the F-Body cars since around 1970. I know this is not really fair being the limited edition "CONTACH LP500" version of the Camaro/Firebird but this should win the contest handilly...
