And to add to this, other countries seem to be pretty fond of their economic cars as well. I base this mostly on what I learn in the top gear news though =P

But really, they like Fords in europe a lot and get a lot of better ones.

Where is our escort cosworth?

I haven't worked for any

I have had 4 different unions work for me, and again a good worker will stay employed its the weak dumb less experienced workers that are protected.

Have you taken a look at the contracts that the UAW has with the big 3?
