Focus hatchback?

No such thing as a Taurus hatch/wagon currently.

You need to bring that out here to Albuquirky for the annual Balloon Fiesta in the fall. I’d be happy to show you around from the passenger seat. ;-)

Hope F takes a big leap.

I was hoping so, too. It's down, apparently on down news from its Europe losses.

Be sure to check out the Escape Eco-Boost.

P.s. we have four Fords in the driveway.

F-150
Expedition
Fusion
Fiesta

Traded in a 1997 Mustang and 2001 Ford Escape to buy the F-150 ;-)

Yes, we very much liked the Eco-boost. We are still comparison shopping...but the Escape is one of our top picks.

PS Meant to say Ford FOCUS hatchback (wasn’t fully awake when I first posted).

;-)

YES, I meant the Focus. We have a friend who has one and she LOVES it.

Posting before coffee does that sort of thing to me, too (looking at your previous post).

;-P

I think they look great, and their in-car electronics have a lot of features at a great price. I wish they did an AWD performance version.

New Mustangs are extremely nice - good competition for the Camaro (which I still like better, but not buying GM).

Looks like you have two of Ford’s latest....a Shelby and a GT. I just got a lowly V6 coupe in Sterling Gray to match my Flex. Just passed 5,000 miles on the Mustang so it isn’t broke in yet but I’m really beginning to like it.

I have a 2005 Escape with 278,000+ miles. I had the transmission rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago, but hey, how many transmissions last that long? No other major problems and very, very few minor problems. The engines seems bullet proof. I’ve been completely satisfied with it, my first Ford.

I’m in the market for a new vehicle and I’m trying to reconsider my needs but I keep coming back to an Escape. Will probably buy a new one.

I went to the Nationals in Rhode Island last weekend, and was talking to people from Jersey and Mass and they have to pay about $5,000 above sticker to get one.

V6’s aren’t lowly. After the warranty, bump up the HP on that baby! She’ll fly! I have about 5,800 on the Cobra and 12,000 on the GT....
