Ford's F-150 cutback hits heart of Texas


Just last month, the pickup Texans love was knocked from its perch as the
nation's best-selling vehicle. Friday, Ford Motor Co. put the brakes on the
new F-150, delaying its much-anticipated launch until late fall. It's enough
to make a cowboy cry.

Dammit, how in the hell did your irrelevant, off topic dribble make it
past my kill file?

If only Ford made vehicles for those of us who don't need a pickup
maybe this mess wouldn't exist ...

 

they do - in huge quantity. they just don't sell them here. ford
europe is huge and highly successful.

Ford Focus and Fusion -- not sure if these are USA versions of what they
sell in Europe or not. In my experience overseas many years ago when I was
on active duty was that Ford produced numerous decent small to medium sized
cars, usually with a 1300 or 1600cc I4.

 

I used to own a 1600cc 1968 English Ford Cortina GT.
2dr 4 seater sedan,4 spd manual,fun to drive,good on gas,roomy(had it
during the 1973 oil crisis) I wished for the Lotus version.....

Only reason I got rid of it was that I couldn't get parts for it in
Buffalo.

 

Had a 71 454 Vette back then -- and a Honda CB750. Parked the Vette and
rode the 750.
