I just dont understand these stupid companies...
Here is a picture of the 09 Focus RS that they get overseas. I can GUARANTEE that they would have a helluva lot more sales if that thing were over here. I know there are so many other cars just like it that for some reason we get screwed out of, I just dont understand what the problem is with bringing them over.

Ford Europe has their shit straight. I would love to see this focus here. On the up side, we are apparently getting the new fiesta.

300hp and 325lb/ft. That's no joke. Unfortunately, it looks like they slapped the tail lights off of a prius.

Thank Obama and his new emission standards. Cars like that will never grace this country. It would be great to see that car here, but it won't happen.

Their cost of living is higher so they get better products.
Australia, Canada, and everywhere else gets the Toyota Hilux. It is the equivalent to my truck in other countries. They get a badass 4 cyl. turbo diesel which I would much rather have than my 6 cyl. NA.

I was gonna say that too. Plus our IIHS safety standards are pretty difficult to pass.

Because it's all his fault that everything if fucked up and the big 3 are bankrupt stateside and can't sell shit to anyone.
That fucking communist blacky!!
Really?
Tell the corporate executives that have been shipping jobs overseas for the past thirty years, closing down our industries and manufacturing for cheaper labor to go shoot themselves.
There is a lot of people out there who have a lot of responsibility for a lot of things, but the current president has nothing to do with the Focus RS not being sold stateside.
Bring up a valid reason to curse the guy, not "He's a communist in disguise!!" or "He's a freaking Muslim!!" or "He's half brother with Bin Laden!!"
I mean really dude... a lot of people don't like him that have better comments to make than, "Fuck Obama! He made it so the Focus RS can't be sold stateside!". That not only is a load of bull shit, but is made without any intelligent debate.

Finally someone sees it like me! Thank you. <3 lolz.
But in all seriousness, Roadrunner did touch on a valid point in my book, and while I do agree goverment need not interfere with a free market economy, for fucks sake don't allow corporate greed overthrow moral values, in that respect I beleive goverment should be allowed to mandate what can be outsourced.
Keep in mind, while I'd love to see a bullet between Obamas eyes as much as the next guy, I retain the mindset that the republicans are a party of no ideas, and the dems are a party of bad ideas. its that simple. lol.

They cut the boost from 9 to 4 psi at 4700 rpm, with that corrected it is a much funner car to drive. With it turned up to 14 psi it is a blast.

yeah my friends been car shopping lately and he doesn't know how to drive manuel yet so ive been going with him and driving all the cars until he learns how to drive better. the volvo handled nicely, but for shits sake i think my moms minivan could beat it from 0-60. also performance parts for that car are expensive as fuck the tuner for it is $1000? 27k for that car volvo can go fuck themselves imo

Fuck Obama! The retard is spending billions of dollars that we do NOT have towards frivelous bullshit that will have ZERO impact on the economy!
Then the tard is going around kissing the world's ass?!! He should have shook Chavez hand, and then shot Chavez in the head with the other. But no, instead he bends over for him, just like the prince of Saudi Arabia.
The ass clown then buys out the bank system so now most of the banking system has been federalized, then the ass clown passes MORE emission bullshit when all 3 automakers are struggling! Hello?! Earth to dumbass in the white house, now is NOT the time to make things tough for the big 3!! But oh that's right, any company that is successfull is EVIL in the democrat's eyes and should be PUNISHED IMMEDIATELY!!!
Then the ass clown wants to shut down Guantanamo Bay?! And do what with the KNOWN TERRORISTS THERE?? Release them into society so they can kill american citizens? Release them in another country so they can reorganize and make another 911? They sure as shit wont release them into our federal maximum security prisons as they'd be killed the first 5 minutes they were there!
The dumbass in the white house does not have a freakin clue what he's doing. You keep your change, Ill keep my guns, religion, and freedom!
